Bonzi Plant Growth Regulator
Bonzi Plant Growth Regulator
Bonzi PGR is a plant growth regulator developed by Syngenta to help growers keep plants looking their best so they grow uniformly and are kept compact. Bonzi maintains the plant-to-pot size ratio for aesthetically pleasing plants with deeper green foliage. Transport is less stressful with less breakage and plants have an extended, enhanced shelf life, and stay at their peak longer.
Bonzi works especially great for gardeners and florists who are sticklers for their plants looking consistently beautiful and maintaining the same quality. If you want to enhance the look of your plants, this is a great tool to have in your maintenance arsenal.
Tools Needed
Bonzi is labeled for multiple application methods to provide versatility and flexibility. It can be applied as a spray, drench or pre-plant bulb soak. We recommend using a hand-pump sprayer.
How to Use
- Step 1: Fill your sprayer tank with water and mix in the proper amount of Bonzi based on the dilution table that comes on the label. This can vary based on how many plants you wish to treat and how you choose to apply the PGR.
- Step 2: Agitate the mixture of Bonzi and do so frequently during application so the solution stays mixed.
- Step 3: Apply the Bonzi mixture to your desired plants to the point that the plant stems are thoroughly wet and there is uniform coverage.
- Step 4: Check the label to see specifics on soil drenches and bulb soak methods.
Where to Use
Bonzi PGR can be used on ornamental plants grown in containers, in nurseries, shadehouses, greenhouses, interiorscapes, and anywhere else you'd like to improve the uniformity and appearance of your plants.
When to Use
Use Bonzi PGR when you are looking to improve the appearance of your plants and want to keep them more compact and uniform and not let them overgrow.
Safety Information
Please wear the proper PPE when applying Bonzi to plants (gloves, face mask, goggles). Please keep children and pets away from treated plants and do not apply the product to water.
Special Considerations
Frequent agitation of a diluted Bonzi mixture and proper application techniques are critical in order to achieve desired results.
