The strongest foundations are often the ones you never see.
Before an orchard can flourish, the soil beneath it must be carefully prepared. Broadcast tarped fumigation helps create healthier growing environments that support successful orchard establishment and long-term productivity. At TriCal New Zealand, we're proud to help growers invest in the future, from the ground up.
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.
Healthy habaneros start below the surface. Chloropicrin soil fumigation helps manage soilborne disease pressure, support root development, and improve crop uniformity.
TriEst Ag Group specializes in soil fumigation, irrigation, crop nutrition, equipment, grafted plants, polytunnels, substrate, and associated growing systems for growers in the Mid-South, Georgia, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, and Northeast Regions.

Behind every high-quality ornamental crop is a strong start below the surface.
Soil fumigation plays a key role in reducing soilborne pressures and setting the stage for uniform growth. This field shot highlights the work that goes into producing reliable, top-tier ornamental plants.
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.

Congratulations to Alfredo Guerrero from our Hollister team for earning 1st Place in TriCal's Employee Photo Contest.
Alfredo's winning photo captures one of the many rewards of an early start in agriculture: a breathtaking sunrise that reminds us why we do what we do. While he is known for his dedication behind the wheel, this photo showcases another one of his talents and a great eye for capturing the beauty of the day before the work begins.
Thank you, Alfredo, for sharing this incredible moment with the TriCal team. We are proud to recognize the people who help make our company stronger every day, both on and off the job.
Every successful strawberry season starts well before the first plants go into the ground.
Soil fumigation is an important step in preparing growing environments by helping to manage soilborne pests and diseases before planting. In Toolangi, Victoria, our team is working alongside growers to help lay the foundation for healthy, productive strawberry crops.
Effective soil preparation plays a key role in managing soil-borne pressures and setting the foundation for a successful season. Improving soil conditions prior to planting to support stronger crop establishment and overall performance.

PFAS is an important topic in agriculture—and one worth understanding. The Florida Fruit & Vegetable Association (FFVA) recently shared a fact sheet titled "PFAS and Specialty Crops: What Growers Should Know". It covers several commonly asked questions and breaks down what PFAS are and how they affect the ag industry.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a large group of synthetic chemicals that have been used for decades in products such as nonstick cookware, waterproof fabrics, firefighting foams, and industrial manufacturing because they resist heat, oil, grease, and water.
As research continues and federal and state regulations evolve, growers and consumers are understandably asking more questions about PFAS and food production.
One question we occasionally hear is whether TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant contains PFAS. The answer is NO. TELONE™ does not contain any PFAS compounds.
TELONE™ is a pre-plant soil fumigant used to manage plant-parasitic nematodes before planting. When used according to the label, TELONE™ is injected into the soil, where it performs its intended function and naturally dissipates before crops are planted. It also leaves ZERO residuals on harvested crops. You heard that right—zero residuals and the product never comes in contact with the actual crop!
At Teleos Ag Solutions, we believe science-based education and transparency are essential. As conversations around PFAS continue, it's important to distinguish between different chemistries and understand how individual crop protection products are used.
Fresh growth begins with strong foundations.
From the earliest stages of development, every wild rocket (a plant in the mustard family) crop relies on healthy growing environments and the dedication of growers who carefully manage each season. At TriCal New Zealand, we're proud to support the foundations that help leafy crops grow strong and reach their full potential.
