52
Spring Matrix Series Versus Matrix Series While both series offer great branching and could be used outside their target seasonality, having these separate selection/series will allow customers to dial in programs with greater ease. What is Spring Matrix? Large flower size (Delta Premium) so it is acceptable in Winter/Spring when flowers can get too large/floppy. Most uniform selection flowering when growing under short day/increasing daylength. Plant grows well under cooler, even frost-free growing conditions. What is Matrix? Extra-large flower size (MGII) so it is acceptable when it shrinks due to heat of Autumn production. Most uniform selection when growing under long day/decreasing daylength. Plant builds bulk and branching under warm stressful/high light conditions.
53
Spring Matrix Series Versus Matrix Series When to Use Spring Matrix? Primary Target: Pansy programs where growers are using Delta Premium, Inspire and Dynamite, and they aren’t happy with the uniformity or plant habit of those series. Secondary Target: Spring Pansy programs where growers aren’t happy with the earliness or uniformity of Matrix. When to Use Matrix? Primary Target: Pansy programs where growers are using MGII, Colossus or Mammoth, and they aren’t happy with the uniformity of those series. Pansy programs where growers are using Delta premium in Autumn but aren’t happy with plant size or flower size. Why Choose Spring Matrix? Grower-tested and selected. Improved over Delta Premium for Spring production in several key colours: Yellow Blotch, Blue Blotch, Yellow Clear, Deep Orange, Rose Unique Midnight Glow colour

NEW Spring Matrix ™ Series Pansy Growers: Design-engineered to deliver similar habit, timing and performance across the series including the novelty colours under cool-season production regimes – deliver a better-looking product at retail!

Superior plant architecture and less stretch result in less PGRs needed.

NEW Cool Wave Plugs Pictures at right and below show Cool Wave Frost 288 plugs (left) vs. 128 plugs (right); sown same day. Larger cell plugs give more light to the crown and more soil volume/water/feed, meaning earlier development of laterals.
77
NEW Cool Wave Plugs 128 or similar large plug size is CRITICAL. Faster spread to fill out baskets quicker. 288s and smaller plug sizes will cause delay in the lateral branching, increasing crop times for growers by 10 to 14 days for Autumn finish, even longer in the Spring. Above 6-in. (15-cm) pots were transplanted on the same day, plugs sown at the same time. Cool Wave White From 288 Cool Wave White From 128
