Plant-parasitic nematodes are microscopic soil-borne pests that can significantly impact root development, nutrient uptake, and overall crop performance. Often difficult to detect, these pests can reduce yield potential if not effectively managed.

Soil fumigation plays an important role in managing nematode populations and supporting a healthier soil environment. TriCal Australia works alongside growers to deliver science-based soil solutions that help protect root systems and promote consistent crop performance.

TriCal Australia General Manager Ross Mayfield recently presented at the Vegetables WA Roadshow in Carnarvon and Geraldton, WA.
