OHP once again to participate in California Spring Trials

February 8, 2012

We are pleased to note that OHP will again be part of the upcoming California Spring Trials March 23-31, 2012.

OHP will be showcasing the results of its plant growth regulators (PGR) on perennials and annuals such as lantana, geranium, petunia, calibrachoa, sedum and pennisetum (grass) at American Takii in Salinas.

In addition, OHP will demonstrate the effect of its PGR Augeo® on no-pinch poinsettias.

OHP Senior Technical Manager Dave Barcel will coordinate the display, evaluating the performance of the OHP’s PGRs B-Nine®, Cycocel®, Paczol® and Augeo on the many quality varieties of American Takii.

“We feel very privileged to be able to be a small part of the event,” notes Barcel, who will be participating in his 17th Spring Trial.  “American Takii has graciously agreed to provide us an expanded demonstration area for this year’s trials. They are a great host and destination spot.”

The annual event draws attendees from throughout the world as participating companies feature the latest in genetics and plant materials.
