Background. . . managing transplant height can be challenging at times techniques to help manage height would be useful. - transplants which establish and grow quickly are desired. . Paclobutrazol (Bonzi). - application to processing tomato seedlings as a soil drench @ 5 ppm at the 2 leaf stage required up to 5 times the fertilizer rate to achieve the desired plant height .
