Oct. 25, 2012 Source: Fine Americas news release Fine Americas, Inc. today announced the Canadian registration of Configure®, the only pure benzyladenine (6-BA) plant growth regulator available for ornamental growers. The product is registered for use on a wide variety of annual and perennial flowering and foliage crops as well as many tropical plant varieties. "This is great news for Canadian ornamental growers," stated Greg Johnson, president of Fine Americas. "Configure® is truly a one-of-a-kind product for increasing lateral and basal branching and improving plant appearance and marketability. In addition, it promotes flowering and helps growers produce more compact plants that are easier to transport, manage and display." Kevin Forney, technical services manager for Fine Americas, noted "Configure® is rapidly becoming the PGR of choice for ornamentals such as Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera spp.), plantain lily (Hosta spp.) and purple coneflower (Echinacea spp.). It comes in a concentrated, ready-to-mix formulation and should be applied as a foliar spray according to label directions." Forney recommended that growers "trial" Configure® on a limited basis before widespread use, as individual plant response can vary based on variety, growing medium, light, ambient temperature and other factors. Available in 2-liter containers, Configure® is manufactured under strict ISO-9001:2000 standards. N.M. Bartlett of Beamsville, ON serves as the exclusive Canadian distributor of Configure® and other plant growth regulators from Fine Americas.
