| 1. A method of making polyolefin with a target flow index and melt flow ratio, comprising:
contacting one or more olefinic monomers in a single reactor containing a bicomponent catalyst system comprising a first catalyst
component and a second catalyst component, wherein the bicomponent catalyst system comprises two different Ziegler-Natta catalysts
each characterized by a catalyst productivity and a chain-transfer-agent response; the single reactor being characterized
by a chain-transfer-agent concentration and a temperature; the productivity of the second catalyst component having a substantially
different temperature dependence than that of the first catalyst component; the chain-transfer-agent response of the second
catalyst component having a substantially different sensitivity than that of the first catalyst component;
effectuating the polymerization of the olefinic monomers to produce an olefin polymer characterized by a flow index, I21 and a melt flow ratio, I21/I2; and achieving in a coordinated manner the target flow index by controlling the chain transfer agent concentration and the
melt flow ratio by controlling the reactor temperature.
