Healthy orchard systems begin below the surface.

TriCal New Zealand is proud to support apple growers with proactive soil solutions that help promote healthier growing environments and strong foundations for long-term productivity.

TriCal Group works closely in collaboration with universities and researchers to protect our food supply and health. The chemicals we use are registered in varying chemical formulations for maximum performance, safety, and environmental health. All have been listed as exempt under EPA residue tolerance, meaning no resulting residue in or on food grown after soil treatment with these chemistries.

Strong future crops begin with healthy foundations.

As strawberry runners harvest gets underway, TriCal New Zealand continues supporting growers with proactive soil solutions that help promote healthier growing environments and successful crop establishment for the seasons ahead.

Soil Fumigation promotes a healthy root system for potatoes, onions, carrots, strawberries, melons, nuts, grapes, cucumbers, tomatoes, tree fruit, peppers, eggplants, flowers, nurseries and more. Soil fumigation provides benefits to both consumer and grower.

Successful leafy vegetable production begins with healthy growing environments.

TriCal New Zealand is proud to support growers with science-based soil solutions that help promote strong crop establishment and long-term productivity from the ground up.

TriCal Group's soil treatments contribute to soil health by both suppressing soil borne diseases and supporting the growth of native organisms that are beneficial to soil and plant growth.

Healthy carrot production starts with strong foundations below the surface.

Through proactive pre-plant soil fumigation, TriCal New Zealand helps support healthier growing environments that promote crop establishment, soil health, and long-term productivity for growers.

Proactive soil preparation plays an important role in supporting successful strawberry production.

Through pre-plant soil fumigation, TriCal New Zealand helps growers establish healthier growing environments that support crop performance and long-term productivity from the ground up.

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.

Broadcast tarp soil fumigation is an effective pre-plant strategy for apple orchard establishment, helping to manage soil-borne pests and diseases across the entire treatment area.

TriCal New Zealand has been carrying out broadacre, tarp-applied soil fumigation using Pic-Plus ahead of apple planting. Following the required withholding period, these treated blocks will be planted with new apple trees.

The objective is to manage soil-borne pests associated with apple replant disease while creating a healthier soil environment. By improving soil conditions prior to planting, this approach supports strong tree establishment, healthy root development, and long-term orchard performance.

Healthy, vibrant flowers begin with strong soil conditions. Effective soil preparation and management play a key role in supporting root development, plant health, and consistent growth throughout the season.

This block, managed by a flower bulb grower, was soil fumigated with Tri-Form 60 to target soil-borne fungi and nematodes. By addressing these pressures early, growers can create a healthier root zone and a more favourable environment for crop establishment.

These early-stage improvements support more uniform growth and high-quality floral production. TriCal New Zealand supports growers with science-based soil solutions designed to strengthen production from the ground up.

Ground preparation is the foundation of every successful crop. From soil structure to uniform bed formation, getting this stage right ensures better water management, stronger root development, and consistent crop establishment.

In New Zealand, every pass across the field is about precision—creating the conditions needed for crops to perform at their best from day one. Because great harvests start long before planting.

TriCal New Zealand is addressing apple replant disease starts from the ground up.

In this New Zealand orchard, Pic-Plus was applied as part of a pre-plant soil fumigation strategy to target soil-borne pathogens associated with apple replant disease. By reducing pathogen pressure before planting, we help create a cleaner, more favorable soil environment for young trees to establish and thrive.

Replant scenarios demand precision and proactive management—because early root development directly impacts long-term orchard performance.

At TriCal New Zealand, our focus is on delivering solutions that support healthier soils, stronger establishment, and more consistent productivity over the life of the orchard.
