Apps for PGR’s• OHP Plant Growth

Regulator Calculator• OHP developed this app to help

growers with their rate calculations and with determining how much PGR solution to apply over a specific area with spray applications or the number of pots for drenches. The app is easy to use, but is limited to OHP plant growth regulators: Augeo, B-Nine, Cycocel, and Paczol

• PGR Mixmaster• This app was developed by the

University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and Fine Americas, Inc. With three simple pieces of information; the type of PGR, the desired ppm and the number of gallons for the application, the app will provide the amount of PGR concentrate to mix into the final solution. Unlike the OHP App mentioned above, the PGR Mixmaster can be used for all PGRs and is not limited to the PGRs of one company

A couple of things become apparent after walking around the Global shop show (and Las Vegas in general) for two days: retail truly is theater. And our industry has only begun to scratch the surface of what it takes to appeal to customers. From in-store touch-screens, videos (which are EVERYWHERE) and even a hologram to lighting, scenting and textures, this show gave retailers all the tools they need to create a

true experience in the store.
