Our Pic-Plus stone fruit trial results are featured in the September issue of NZ Grower & Orchardist

TriCal New Zealand is pleased to share the results of a Pic-Plus fumigation trial conducted in a replanted stone fruit orchard in Hawke’s Bay.

The trial assessed early tree growth and changes in the soil microbiome following soil fumigation. After the first year, trees planted in Pic-Plus soil-fumigated rows showed up to 194% greater growth in trunk circumference compared with trees planted in untreated rows.

The soil microbiome assessment also found increases of more than 80% in representative beneficial bacteria and 180% in representative beneficial fungi following soil fumigation.

The full trial results, including the crop and soil microbiome assessments, are featured in the September 2026 issue of NZ Grower & Orchardist.

Healthy carrot crops begin with healthy soil.

Healthy orchards begin with healthy soil.

When gaps in orchard rows need to be replanted, TriCal New Zealand uses targeted site soil fumigation with a manual injector to help manage potential soilborne pests and diseases. The result is a healthier growing environment that supports beneficial microorganisms, strong tree establishment, and long-term orchard productivity.

Soil borne diseases attack plant roots making the root system and the plant weaker. Plants treated with Fumigants have stronger root systems and healthier plants that are better at mining for nutrients. The plant is able to find and take up the nutrients it needs. Growers have been able to cut back as much as 20% of the nitrogen used saving $50-100 per acre. Farming disease means wasted water and wasted nitrogen.
