Calibrachoa Vigor

Calibrachoa Cerv.

Calibrachoa vigor is a qualitative expert parameter that determines the development rate, branching intensity, and the cultivar's ability to fill a container.

In the reference 87 varieties crop Calibrachoa, where this is mentioned in the description.

For Calibrachoa, vigor serves as a classification trait that divides cultivar series into compact, medium, and vigorous groups. This indicator is evaluated by breeders through comparative analysis of plant habit, allowing agronomists to select varieties for specific pot and hanging basket formats.

In production, this indicator dictates management practices, including the intensity of plant growth regulator use and the frequency of pinching. Furthermore, vigor is crucial when designing mixed plantings, where it is necessary to combine plants with similar development rates to prevent the suppression of individual specimens.

Deviations in vigor during the growing season are used as a diagnostic criterion: a decrease often indicates imbalances in substrate pH that provoke chlorosis, root system damage due to waterlogging, or infection with viral diseases.
