Benerget Greenhouses: Vivacious Poinsettias with 30% Less Fungicides

Holganix case study

“When it comes to snake oil, I’ve seen it all!” explains Denny Benerget, owner of Benerget Greenhouses. With 40 years in the business, and a family ancestry spanning five generations of growers (stretching back to Germany – before the family came to The States), it’s safe to say that Denny truly has seen it all. “Unlike those snake oil products, HGX PRO Bio 800+ Bloom does work!” 

Benerget Greenhouses features 60,000 square feet of greenhouse space used to grow flowers. Denny typically sells wholesale and retail plants, focusing on delivering to organizations like churches.

While using the product, Denny reports that he has been able to reduce his nitrogen use by 10%, and his fungicides by 30% and has seen improved plant development.

reducing Fertilizer and Fungicide rates on Poinsettias

According to Denny, he's been able to reduce his fertilizer and fungicide rates on poinsettias with HGX PRO Bio 800+ Bloom. He reports that he has decreased nitrogen by 10-to-15%, and now that he feels comfortable with the product, he plans to explore nitrogen reductions further. "Bloom just makes the fertilizer work better," says Denny as a way of explanation for the reductions. "That's why we can use less fertilizer." 

When it comes to reducing fungicides, that is "one of the big things we've noticed. We've used less fungicides than ever before." So far, Denny has cut fungicides by 30%. Keep in mind, that poinsettias require heavy doses of preventative fungicides because of their tricky growing season which features shortened growing days in the fall and winter.

Improving the developmental state of the plant

It's crucial for poinsettias to be as developed as possible before the Holiday season. According to Denny, he has seen an improved developmental state of the plant. That means the poinsettias both mature earlier and stay in peak condition longer.

"Holganix places me in a better position to sell something lush," explains Denny.
