Gazania New Day
(Gazania rigens)

Germination

Media
Use a well-drained, disease-free soilless plug media with a pH of 5.8 to 6.2, and an EC of 0.75 mmhos/cm (1:2 extraction).

Sowing
Plug Tray Size
Can be produced in a 406 or 288-cell size plug trays. For Europe – can be produced in a 264-cell size plug tray.

A medium covering of coarse-grade vermiculite is recommended at sowing to help maintain humidity around the seed for better germination performance.
Germination takes approximately 3 to 4 days. Germination temperature: 70 to 72°F (21 to 22°C) Light: Light is not required for germination. Moisture: Keep the media moisture at medium wet
(level 4) during Stage 1.

Relative humidity: Maintain 95 to 97% relative humidity until cotyledons emerge.

Plug Production

Media
Use a well-drained, disease-free soilless plug media with a pH of 5.8 to 6.2, and an EC of 0.75 mmhos/cm (1:2 extraction).

A medium covering of coarse-grade vermiculite is recommended at sowing to help maintain humidity around the seed for better germination performance.

Stage 1 – Germination takes approximately 3 to 4 days.

Germination temperature: 70 to 72°F (21 to 22°C) Light: Light is not required for germination. Moisture: Keep the media moisture at medium wet
(level 4) during Stage 1.

Relative humidity: Maintain 95 to 97% relative humidity until cotyledons emerge.

Stage 2
Soil Temperature: 68 to 72°F (20 to 22°C) days; 60 to
62°F (16 to 17°C) nights

Light: Can be up to 2,500 f.c. (26,900 Lux).
Media Moisture: Keep the media moisture at medium
(level 3) to medium wet (level 4).

Fertilizer: Apply fertilizer at rate 1 (less than 100 ppm N/less than 0.7 mS/cm EC) with a nitrate-form fertilizer with low phosphorous.

Stage 3
Soil Temperature: 68 to 70°F (20 to 21°C) days; 60 to
62°F (16 to 17°C) nights

Light: Can be up to 2,500 f.c. (26,900 Lux).

Media Moisture: Keep the media moisture medium dry (level 2) to medium (level 3).

Fertilizer: Increase the fertilizer rate to 2 (100 to 175 ppm N/0.7 to 1.2 mS/cm EC). Maintain a media pH of
5.8 to 6.2 and EC at 0.7 to 1.0 mS/cm (1:2 extraction).

Stage 4
Soil Temperature: 65 to 68°F (18 to 20°C) days; 60°F (16°C) nights

Light: Light levels can be up to 5,000 f.c. (53,800 Lux)
if temperatures can be maintained.

Media Moisture: Same as Stage 3

Fertilizer: Same as Stage 3.

Plant Growth Regulators
Not required.

Growing On to Finish

Container Size: 306-packs, 4-in. (10-cm), and 6-in. (15-cm) pot.

Media
Use a well-drained, disease-free soilless media with a pH of 5.8 to 6.2 and a medium initial nutrient charge.

Temperature
Night: 55 to 60°F (13 to 16°C)

Day: 65 to 70°F (18 to 21°C)

Light
Keep light levels as high as possible while maintaining the optimal temperatures.

Fertilizer
Starting a week after transplant, apply fertilizer at rate
3 (175 to 225 ppm N/1.2 to 1.5 mS/cm) using predominately nitrate-form fertilizer with low phosphorus. Maintain the media EC at 1.50 to 2.00 mS/cm and pH at 5.8 to 6.2.

Irrigation
Maintain optimal media moisture, i.e. not too wet or not too dry.

Plant Growth Regulators
If needed can use B-Nine/Alar (daminozide) at 3,500 ppm (4.2 g/l of 85% formulation or 5.6 g/l of 64% formulation) to tone the crop. One application at 2 to 3 weeks after transplant will be sufficient.

Pinching
Pinching is not required.

Crop Scheduling
Sow to transplant: Approximately 5 weeks for a 288 or a 264-cell (Europe) and 4 weeks for a 406-cell size plug.

Transplant to finish: Container Size: 306-packs

Plants per Pot: 1

Weeks from Transplant: 8-9

Total Weeks: 12-14

Container Size: 4-in (10-cm) pot

Plants per Pot: 1

Weeks from Transplant: 8-9

Total Weeks: 12-14

Container Size: 6-in (15-cm) pot

Plants per Pot: 3

Weeks from Transplant: 8-9

Total Weeks: 12-14

Crop time can be influenced by light levels i.e. when grown in areas with low light levels or during period of low light intensities, the crop time could be a few weeks (approx. 3 weeks) longer.

Common Problems

Diseases: Damping-off during seedling production.

Insects: Check/monitor for Thrips, Mites, Whiteflies and Aphids.
