Did you know the quality and uniformity of capsicum fruit starts below the surface? Healthy soils and strong root systems are essential for consistent fruit development and plant performance. TriCal Australia supports growers with science-based soil solutions that help set the foundation for success.

Red bell pepper produced in greenhouses, with soils previously fumigated in Irapuato to ensure a uniform establishment and vigorous development of the crop. At TriCal de Baja we work to improve soil health to reduce the incidence of pathogens and nematodes, strengthening the root system and maximizing productive potential from the beginning of the cycle. The quality of the fruit begins under the soil.

A greenhouse capsicum trial on the Adelaide Plains evaluated the effectiveness of pre-plant soil fumigation with Strike 60 for managing Root Knot Nematodes and improving crop performance. Weekly soil testing was conducted to measure nematode suppression and crop response under controlled greenhouse conditions.
In a greenhouse, proper soil management is key to achieving healthy plants, uniform development, and consistent production throughout the cycle. Every decision below the surface directly influences crop quality and performance.
November is National Pepper Month - a time to recognize the hard work and dedication of pepper growers across the country. At the TriCal Group of companies, we are proud to support farmers with science-driven soil health and quality growing solutions that help every harvest reach its full potential.
Take a look at these NC Jalapeño Peppers. These healthy, vibrant plants were fumigated with chloropicrin, supported through drip irrigation, and monitored using the GrowSphere One system. This is the result of smart, strategic crop management with help from TriEst Ag Companies.
With its rich soils, diverse climates, and innovative farming techniques, California has cultivated an impressive array of more than 400 commodities. Remarkably, the state is the sole producer of key crops such as almonds, artichokes, celery, garlic, kiwifruit, and walnuts
Our Director of Agronomy, Josh Mays, was back out in the field at the end of May checking on a jalapeno field trial in Clinton, NC. In this video he's highlighting the difference in growth and uniformity seen in this field and why it matters.
TriCal Australia has worked closely with a Bundaberg, Queensland, farming business to help improve soil health. The soil on the farm suffers from fungal infections that severely damage chili plants in and around the fruiting set. In some seasons, fruit losses can be as high as 70%.
The Adelaide Plains region, outside of Adelaide, South Australia, is the largest greenhouse growing region in the southern hemisphere. This region suffers from soil pest & disease issues that greatly reduce the yields and quality of the crops grown.
South Australian capsicum grower Andrew Braham, explains his approach to soil health and how TriCal Australia have helped him to improve his soils.
