Strong Roots. Quality Ornamentals.

Producing healthy, consistent ornamental plants starts long before they leave the nursery. It begins with creating the right conditions in the soil for roots to establish and plants to thrive.

Soil fumigation is one tool growers can use to help manage soilborne pests and diseases and prepare the field for a successful crop. These field photos capture a closer look at the work happening behind the scenes to support quality ornamental production.

Trident Ag Products is proud to provide soil fumigation solutions that help growers get their crops off to a strong start.

Founded in 1985, Trident Ag Products is a full-service soil fumigation company serving the Pacific Northwest. They distribute and custom apply registered blends of Methyl Bromide, TELONE™ by Teleos, and Chloropicrin. Trident's goal is to help growers cultivate a safe, healthy, abundant and affordable food supply.

Potato research continues to grow at Trident Ag Products. This season, we’re conducting two trials with larger plot sizes covering half-pivot fields, giving us an even broader look at product performance under real-world growing conditions.

By continuing these trials over multiple years, we’re able to work alongside growers, track results from season to season, and build a stronger understanding of what works in the field.

Trident's work continues to show encouraging results in addressing the early die complex in potatoes, including suppression of Verticillium and black dot in stem tissue. The goal is simple: help growers maintain healthier plants and maximize crop potential.

Disease decreases crop quality. Strike improves crop health and marketable yield. This allows the grower to capture more sales and profits or the flexibility to farm less acres for the same profit.

A bird’s-eye view gives us a whole new perspective on soil fumigation.

Seeing the entire field from above highlights the scale and precision involved in preparing the soil for conifer seedlings. At Trident Ag Products, we’re proud to bring the equipment, experience, and attention to detail needed to help growers get the most from their fields.

From the first pass to the finished application, every acre matters

Soil fumigation effectively targets soil-borne pests and diseases, providing young plants with the robust foundation necessary for thriving growth. Our companies at Trical Group understand that successful crops originate from healthy soil. We are dedicated to equipping growers with dependable tools, time-tested products, and expert assistance from the ground up.

On September 12, we’re celebrating blackberries and the growers who continue to explore new varieties and production practices to find what works best for their fields.

This reel features photos and videos from Enfield Farms, showcasing a blackberry field that was soil fumigated by Trident Ag Products. Enfield Farms is taking an industrious approach by evaluating several different blackberry varieties to see which ones perform best in their operation.

Testing different varieties, monitoring performance, and learning from the results are all part of the process of making informed decisions for the future.

We’re proud to support growers like Enfield Farms as they continue to put innovation into practice and look for ways to strengthen their crops.

From field trials to better crop outcomes, innovation starts with putting new approaches to the test. This photo highlights an in-row soil fumigation trial on onions in Irrigon, Oregon, where we are evaluating application performance and refining techniques to promote healthy stands and consistent crop growth.

Powered by Chloropicrin, Strike™ is applied directly within the row to target soilborne pests and diseases where they can affect the developing root system. In-row application also helps make every treatment count by focusing protection where it is needed most.

Trical Group's fumigation formulations are Chloropicrin-based products and some of the most effective soil fumigants to manage soil borne pests and pathogens in crops. Pre-plant soil fumigation treatment is the first step in a successful soil health and pest management system. Soil Fumigants can be applied alone or in combination with other fumigants via shank injections to helps you grow a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable crop year after year.

Blueberries are almost ready for harvest!

Investing in soil health before planting helps create the foundation for a productive crop, and it's always rewarding to see the results as the berries near harvest.

Trident wishes growers a safe and successful harvest season!

Common scab continues to be one of the most challenging soil-borne diseases in potato production, making marketable yield a top priority for growers. If you missed this blog or would like a refresher, it's worth taking another look.

Learn how Strike™, powered by Chloropicrin, is used to help manage common scab and other soil-borne diseases while supporting production efficiency.

Growers often rotate crops to improve the physical characteristics of the soil and/or to suppress soil borne diseases. Strike soil treatment suppresses soil borne diseases better than standard practices which can lead to reduced rotation length and farming your better ground more often.
