Teleos PNW TELONE™ Specialists, Robin Matson and Dusty Allen, are wrapping up another successful Washington/Oregon Potato Conference, hosted by the Washington State Potato Commission and the Oregon Potato Commission.

This annual event continues to be an important opportunity to connect with growers, industry partners, and researchers across the potato community. From new vendors and engaging educational sessions to valuable conversations with longtime colleagues, the conference highlights the strength and collaboration of the Pacific Northwest potato industry.

Potato growers in the PNW are gearing up for the spring season, and crop protection is top of mind. Columbia root-knot nematodes continue to be an issue for growers, negatively impacting potato quality and marketable yield.

Before strawberries reach their characteristic color and flavor, there is a silent work that occurs under the soil. Proper agronomic management allows plants to develop evenly, sustain fruit weight, and maintain their productivity throughout the cycle.

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.

In our latest The Dirt: A Blog article, "Why Marketable Yield Matters More Than Total Yield" Dr. Chad Hutchinson shares insights from a panel discussion with Seed World U.S. Editor Aimee Nielson and Jeff Douglas of Douglas Agricultural Services on protecting potato quality and value. From common scab management to systems thinking across genetics, soil, and targeted tools, the focus was clear. Quality is manageable when decisions work together.

Up to 90% of a plant’s growth happens underground. Strong, healthy roots determine how well a crop absorbs water and nutrients—directly impacting yield, uniformity, and overall plant resilience.

That’s why investing in soil preparation early helps create the conditions crops need to grow stronger, withstand stress, and perform consistently throughout the season.

Trical Group's fumigation formulations are Chloropicrin-based products and some of the most effective soil fumigants to manage soil borne pests and pathogens in crops. Pre-plant soil fumigation treatment is the first step in a successful soil health and pest management system. Soil Fumigants can be applied alone or in combination with other fumigants via shank injections to helps you grow a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable crop year after year.
