Trident Ag Products and Dr. Maxwell Handiseni are conducting a potato trial in Boardman, Oregon, focused on tackling pathogens like verticillium wilt and black dot in potatoes using chloropicrin, the active ingredient in Strike™ Soil Fumigant.
In Madras, Oregon, Trident is initiating a trial to explore solutions for managing verticillium wilt in leaf mint. This study integrates a chloropicrin soil fumigant with a biological fungicide containing Bacillus spp. to suppress pathogens and enhance crop health.
Trident Ag conducting a potato field trial at Rupert, Idaho to address the challenges of "early die" in potatoes. This trial focuses on utilizing Chloropicrin, the active ingredient in Strike™ Soil Fumigant, to effectively manage pathogens and promote healthier, more resilient crops.
Chloropicrin has been a trusted soil fumigation solution for over 60 years, helping specialty crop growers around the world maximize yields and maintain healthy soils. But what makes it such a powerful tool? Here’s a closer look at some of its benefits:
In 2023, Trident Agricultural Products conducted field trials in Idaho, focusing on kidney beans for seed production. The trials aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PIC 100 (Chloropicrin) at low dosage rates of 2.5 GPA and 5 GPA at maximizing yield and income gain in comparison to non-fumigated checks.
The Pacific Northwest is known for producing hops that can be devastated by pathogens such as Rhizoctonia solani, Verticillium, Fusarium, and Alternaria. These pathogens can result in stunted growth, wilting and root decay which drastically impact plant growth and consequently hop yield and quality.
