Across South Carolina, growers preparing to plant new peach orchards—or removing older trees ahead of replanting next spring.

A peach orchard is a decades-long investment, and replant sites can present unique challenges. Plant-parasitic nematodes and other factors associated with Prunus Replant Disease can compromise young root systems, slow tree establishment, and affect orchard productivity for years.

That's why many growers incorporate TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant into their pre-plant soil preparation programs. Applied after old trees are removed and before new trees are planted, TELONE™ manages plant-parasitic nematodes and creates a zone of protection where young roots can establish and thrive.

Healthy roots support stronger tree establishment, more efficient water and nutrient uptake, and the foundation for a productive orchard for years to come. For growers making an investment that could last decades, TELONE™ provides peace of mind that they're starting with a strong foundation belowground.

You only get one opportunity to prepare the soil before the new trees go in.

Remember, there's no coming back from a poor start—especially with orchards!
