Fertilizer Update: On The Table
From the March 2007 article "Fertilizer/Growth Regulator Update: In the third of a four-part series on crop protection, we update new products and label changes for plant nutrients and plant growth regulators."
The following plant growth regulators were on the IR-4 program’s August 2006 New Products/Transitional Solutions list. For more information, go to www.ir4.rutgers.edu and look under "Pest Management Technology."
