It’s National Sweetpotato Month, a time to recognize one of California agriculture’s important specialty crops. At TriCal Inc., we work alongside sweetpotato growers to support healthy soil and strong crop establishment through professional soil fumigation services.

Healthy soil plays a key role in supporting root development and overall crop performance, helping sweetpotato fields get off to a strong start each season.

A sweetpotato field in Atwater, CA, is being soil fumigated with TELONE™ II to help manage root-knot nematodes and support healthy root development. This treatment provides growers with a stronger start to the season by creating optimal growing conditions for a productive crop.

Healthy soil is the foundation of a productive field, and we are committed to helping growers achieve reliable results year after year

California’s specialty crops face major pressure from plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) attacking roots underground.

Top offenders include root-knot, lesion, ring, cyst, and dagger nematodes, all capable of stunting plant growth and reducing yields.

Plant parasitic nematodes cost California growers millions each year by damaging the roots of:

• Almonds
• Grapes
• Citrus
• lVegetables
• Strawberries

Whether custom- or grower-applied, TriCal does a field-specific survey and develop the treatment plan in partnership with the grower. We synthesize a broad range of data to optimize the soil treatment tailored to each grower's specific needs. These evaluations include considerations of agronomy, resource conservation, soil biology and soil science, meteorology, and economics.

Before you plant your next orchard, schedule your almond soil treatment with TriCal, Inc. Soil health is the key to a strong start and long-term productivity. Our proven treatments help protect against pests and soil-borne diseases, creating the ideal environment for healthy roots, resilient trees, and higher yields.

Start cleaning out nematodes and other soilborne diseases and you have healthier plants resisting disease and reducing topical pesticide use. Soil fumigation promotes healthier plants with stronger root systems that are better at mining nutrients.

Preparing healthy soil is the first step toward a productive almond orchard. This field in Ripon, CA, was soil fumigated by TriCal Inc. to help manage soil-borne diseases and create the best environment for strong root development and long-term orchard success.

Healthy soil builds healthy trees, and it all starts here.

Soil Fumigation immediately knocks back soil-borne disease giving plants their best start. Suppressed disease allows the native species to rebound in the soil. Trials with major universities have demonstrated an increase of beneficial organisms in soil that has been properly fumigated.

TriCal Inc. provides soil fumigation services designed to give strawberry growers the best start possible. By preparing the soil ahead of planting, we create the foundation for healthier plants, stronger root systems, and more resilient fields with reduced pest and disease pressure.

Take a look at this soil fumigation process in this Santa Maria strawberry field and discover how TriCal can help your crop reach its full potential.

Healthy soil is the foundation of a successful strawberry crop, and TriCal Inc. is here to help growers achieve it.

For strawberry growers, our soil fumigation services mean healthier soil, stronger roots, and a more successful season. By creating a healthier soil environment, we help establish vigorous plants and maximize yield potential.

With a trusted partnership approach, TriCal delivers reliable results that growers can count on season after season.

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.
