Preparation in the field starts long before planting begins.

These irrigation pipes are staged and ready for pre-irrigation ahead of soil fumigation and bedding operations. From early planning to field execution, the TriCal team takes pride in staying organized, prepared, and ready to support growers every step of the way.

It’s the attention to detail in the field that helps lay the foundation for a successful season.

We are proud to share that TriCal, Inc. has been recognized by the Almond Alliance as the Associate Member of the Year.

This recognition reflects the strong relationships and continued commitment TriCal has within the almond industry. We would especially like to recognize Amanda Hernandez for her incredible work and dedication in supporting growers and advancing the industry. This honor is a testament to the impact her efforts have made throughout the agricultural community.

Thank you to the Almond Alliance for this recognition and to our team and industry partners who continue to support California agriculture every day.

Now is the time to schedule your soil fumigation consultation with a TriCal PCA. Proper soil preparation plays an important role in supporting healthy crops, strong yields, and long-term field performance.

Our team is here to help you evaluate your field needs and develop a soil fumigation plan tailored to your operation.

Every growing season brings new challenges. Having the right support makes all the difference.

TriCal, Inc. works alongside growers to provide solutions that help protect crops, improve soil conditions, and drive better outcomes in the field.

TriCal was founded in 1961 by three young men - Richard Storkan, Jerry Hanes, and Robert McCaslin, who were on a mission to carry out commercial soil fumigation by specialized methods.

Prunus crops, including almonds, are highly vulnerable to soil-borne challenges that can impact tree health and long-term productivity.

From Prunus Replant Disorder (PRD) to nematodes, Phytophthora, and root rot, these issues develop below the surface and can limit root growth and overall tree performance.

The difference is clear.
Untreated vs. treated soils can significantly impact tree vigor, uniformity, and yield potential.

Research-backed results from TriClor-treated almond orchards show:

• 70% increase in tree height in the first year
• Greater trunk diameter and up to 2x canopy size in early years
• 63% yield increase in the first 3 years
• Yield benefits lasting 7+ years

Proactive soil management is key to establishing a strong, productive orchard from the start. At TriCal, Inc., we help growers implement effective, tailored soil solutions.

Healthy crops start with healthy soil.

Soil fumigation is a pre-plant treatment that helps manage harmful soil-borne pests, diseases, and nematodes. By creating a healthy, growing environment beneath the surface, growers can give their crops the best possible start.

Why does it matter?

• Improves crop yield and quality
• Safeguard plant health from day one
• Supports efficient land use
• Helps growers maximize their investment

At TriCal, we’re committed to delivering innovative soil solutions that support sustainable, productive agriculture. Because stronger starts lead to stronger harvests.

Trical Inc. had 28 employees participate, including 2 who generously donated double red units, for a total of 32 productive units collected. These lifesaving donations have the potential to impact up to 88 lives.

We’re especially proud that every participant was a first-time donor — a record for the Stanford Blood Center! This incredible turnout reflects TriCal’s commitment to giving back and supporting our community in meaningful ways.

A big thank you to the Stanford Blood Center team for their knowledge, professionalism, and warm support throughout the event. We're grateful for the opportunity to help save lives and look forward to partnering again for our next blood drive!

Today, we recognize International Day of Women and Girls in Science by celebrating the incredible women of TriCal Diagnostics. In the lab and beyond, their expertise, precision, and dedication drive the science behind the solutions we deliver to agriculture every day.

We are proud to highlight the talented women whose work supports growers, advances innovation, and upholds the highest standards of quality and stewardship.
