Strawberry Field Undergoing Soil Fumigation

Here’s a look at a strawberry field in Santa Maria undergoing soil fumigation, an essential step in ensuring healthy, productive crops. By creating a clean soil environment, soil fumigation helps manage soil-borne pests, and diseases—giving growers the best start for a successful season.

TriCal Inc., is committed to providing growers with science-backed solutions for soil health and productivity.


TriCal Group works closely in collaboration with universities and researchers to protect our food supply and health. The chemicals we use are registered in varying chemical formulations for maximum performance, safety, and environmental health. All have been listed as exempt under EPA residue tolerance, meaning no resulting residue in or on food grown after soil treatment with these chemistries.

"We are farm consultants, helping growers to get the greatest return on investment for their crop while helping them navigate the regulations and use requirements. We are custom applicators so we have hands-on, direct field experience. We provide field support and technicians. Just like my father (TriCal Co-Founder & President) said in 1963, 'we have proved the worth of these methods.' We work hand in hand with growers so they can reap the benefits."
