Ultra-Shield Chlorine Dioxide Water Treatment System contains rapid-release tablets that, when placed in water, dissolve in less than 20 minutes, releasing chlorine dioxide. Ultra-Shield eliminates and controls algae, slime, microbes, biofilm, viral, bacterial and fungal plant pathogens through your irrigation systems. Use Ultra-Shield in a specific growing area or across your entire growing operation.


Fogco Systems
Fogco Revolution improves humidification coverage, responsiveness and productivity while reducing water and energy usage. The system achieves continuous, even 360-degree humidification coverage of greenhouse areas up to 10,000 cubic feet without fallout or wetness. Fogco Revolution sends an invisible mist outward on an air stream. By integrating the air stream with fog, micron-sized water droplets are suspended farther and longer than traditional systems. By controlling the plants’ pores through effective climate control, the results are stronger and healthier plants with optimum growth potential.

Four Star Greenhouse
Growing only 8 to 10 in. tall, Proven Selections’ Gypsy White achillea thrives in full sun and heat. Tiny white flowers cover the plant late into the season and withstand rain exceptionally well. Gypsy White achillea is an excellent choice for containers or the landscape.


Greenex
Kalanchoe Queen WildFlowers are sculptural pot plants with exceptional shelf life and ornamental value.

Cheerful Orange’s leaves are slim and slightly serrated, while the flowers on Frozen White have a fine pink lilac design. Funky Red has sharp red flowers with a yellow center.

Growth Products
Companion Liquid Biological Fungicide received a new EPA label that includes all turfgrass and landscape use. With the multiple modes of action of the GB03 strain of Bacillus subtilis, Companion effectively prevents, controls and suppresses a broad range of root and foliar diseases including anthracnose, fusarium patch, pythium and phytophthora. Trials have shown that Companion can be used in combination with lower rates of chemical fungicides for improved efficacy and/or in rotation with chemical fungicides.


Syngenta Flowers
Callie is one of the most grower friendly calibrachoa series. It has been bred to flower early under shorter days to boost early-season sales, generating extremely quick turns. With 19 vibrant colors, including attention-getting bicolor varieties, both growers and customers rave about Callies. A few more reasons to add this series to your mix are: greater tolerance to higher soil pH; strong, sturdy root systems; early and continuous bloom; and outstanding color in baskets and large containers.
