I Want To Be a Nematologist When I Grow Up
We recently had the chance to learn more about Dr. Kristi Sanchez’s path to becoming a Nematologist, and we can’t wait to share it with you. Explore her journey below, along with her valuable advice for anyone new to or interested in the field of Nematology.
Florida Tomato Institute's Annual Conference
TeamTeleos was at the Florida Tomato Institute's Annual Conference! Our Southeast TELONE™ Specialist Chris Hays, Stewardship Manager Justin H., and President John Godbehere were representing Teleos at this event and engaging first-hand with tomato growers from across the state.
Tobacco Research Field Day
Teleos Ag's mid-Atlantic TELONE™ Specialist Greg Roberson attended the NC State Tobacco Field Day last week in Kinston, NC. This was an excellent opportunity to interact with local tobacco growers, county extension agents, and researchers. Learn about how TELONE™ can set you up for a successful tobacco season.
Poland Potato Trials
Teleos Ag is currently running many field trials around the world, and recently, our EMEA Sales Manager JB Gibbs and our Director of R&D Dr. Randy (RM) Huckaba were in Europe checking in on several sites, like the pictured site where our team is visiting several sites in Poland to see the progress of ongoing trials in potatoes and carrots.
Where in the World is Dr. Kristi Sanchez?
May marked the start of Dr. Kristi Sanchez’s (our renowned Nematologist) busiest season, a kick-off to Spring field trials. Here’s a breakdown of the trial sites Dr. Sanchez visited, including detailed insights into her work and that of the TriCal team at each location.
TELONE™ USA R&D – Potato Field Trials 2024
Nematodes are a common pest in potato-growing areas, particularly in the Pacific Northwest. This blog post will cover common nematodes affecting potatoes in the Pacific Northwest, and recap a potato field trial that was done to demonstrate TELONE™ efficacy.
Impacts of Fall & Spring Fumigation of Tobacco
This project was established in East Central NC originally in 2021 to evaluate the effects of TELONE ™ II and Chloropicrin (PIC) on nematode suppression in Tobacco, Granville wilt suppression, and tobacco yield and quality. Is it possible to stagger harvest between the products?
Pistachio Field Trials: Decreased Nematode Densities
We established 2 multi-year field trials in Fresno County California, one trial taking place in Firebaugh, and the other in Caruthers, both led by TriCal PCA-Victor Rodriguez to examine the benefits of TELONE™ and Chloropicrin providing early rootstock establishment..
Field Visit for Grape Trial in Modesto, Ca. with Dr. Kristi Sanchez
It was an honor to get invited by one of our Scientists, Dr. Kristi Sanchez. It was remarkable to see her in action out in the field, doing what she does best: helping diagnose nematode issues and providing support to growers throughout the Central Valley.
TELONE™ and Chloropicrin: A One-Two Punch for Nematodes and Soilborne Diseases
Agricultural diseases can decimate your crop if you don’t take the proper preventative steps. Nematodes and other soilborne diseases need to be stopped in their tracks—and the right soil fumigation techniques can make all the difference.
What Are Nematodes?
Nematodes are incredibly diverse, thread-like roundworms that live in a wide range of soils. Mostly microscopic in size, nematodes have varied methods of survival. A majority of nematodes are microbial feeders found in the soil. They can feed on diverse food sources, including bacteria, fungi, and even other nematodes!
Tree & Vine School Re-Cap
The first annual TriCal Group Tree and Vine School was a success. If you were able to attend the day of the event, Thursday – November 10th, we thank you! If you weren’t able to attend, then you can still check out all of the great speaker presentations.
Examining the Effectiveness of Fumigant Application on Sweet Potato Crop
The demand for sweet potatoes across the United States has increased dramatically for the last several years. Fumigation of the soil can greatly increase their yield and control pests like nematodes.
Growing Greater Grapes Pt. 2 – Modesto Trial Results
TriClor and TELONE™ fumigant treatments continue to demonstrate significant reduction in total plant-parasitic nematode (PPN) density across all 3 seasons compared to untreated control, shown in the graphic below.
Growing Greater Grapes – Modesto Trial Update
By utilizing pre-plant fumigants in a vineyard – such as TriClor (Chloropicrin) and TELONE™ II (1,3-Dichloropropene) – growers can reduce the total parasitic nematode pressure within the soil where the grapes are being planted.
