Supernova® Liners - A Great Advantage

Update: June 12, 2009

Why All The Excitement?

More growers are using Supernova® Liners for their 4.50 container production. Possibly you are already one of those growers who have used Supernova® Liners and already understand the great benefits you receive when used for your smaller container production.

Each year, more of our customers are shifting their small container production over from our Standard 84 liners to Supernova® Liners. They have recognized how much easier it is for them to grow the varieties that are more difficult to flower, contain, and bulk.

Supernova® Liner Advantages

• Controlled growth which limits GR applications and improves bench life
• Increased branching giving greater plant bulk and higher flower count
• Excellent for production of 4.50 up to 1.0 GL containers
• Bud initiated for early, more consistent flowering
• Decreased crop times - most crops will finish in 4-5 weeks early season and 3-4 weeks late season
• Faster rooting

Great Advantages With More Options - Starting 2008

New - Beginning with the 2007-08 growing season, Four Star has taken this program to all new levels, offering options to fit the growers needs.

• Supernova® 84's -
  • With continued research, we've found that some varieties, currently offered as Supernova® 42's, can still be treated to achieve great performance for smaller containers without having to space them. Although the performance does not quite equal the spaced 42 program, it does offer grower improved performance over standard liners with the benefit of reduced freight by receiving more plants per box.
• Supernova® 28 Thriller™-
  • Four Star now offers programmed liners designed to be used as the center, tall, or focal plant in upright combinations.
• Supernova® 28 Perennials -
  • Designed to give the grower saleable gallons in a scheduled number of weeks, making it easier for any grower to finish gallon containers alongside your spring annuals.
• Supernova® 50 - Infinity® New Guinea Impatiens-
  • Not all New Guinea Impatiens on the market are equal. We've taken the most uniform top-selling series available to even higher levels. Our larger, more developed root system provides earlier, more uniform flowering that can not be matched.
• Supernova® 42 -
  • The original Four Star Exclusive Supernova® Liner that has changed how the industry produces smaller container production. This program has proven itself time and time again as the best liner available for 4.50 container results, providing timed, uniform, earlier flowering for an extensive list of Proven Winners® plants. If you have never tried them, make 2008 the season to reach new levels of quality.

The Benefits Are Obvious

Butterfly Argyranthemum, grown from a Supernova® 42 Liner (Left) and grown from a Standard Liner (Right). No matter how wonderful the variety, not all were made to be grown in smaller container production as shown above in 4.50 Classic™ containers. Supernova® Liners are bud initiated for earlier flowering and increased branching. This is just one example of a variety that is truly improved by using Supernova® 42 Liners, you'll watch them fly off the bench so quickly- you'll think they grew wings. Also, we took this opportunity, in the above photo, to demonstrate the power of the Proven Winners® Branding Program (container & tag). This program provides an added value compared to standard unidentifiable pots. Consider anywhere you shop, an attractive, well presented display will always yield more sales and greater profits.
