Nematology is the scientific discipline concerned with the study of nematodes, or roundworms. There are beneficial nematodes that contribute to the soil and are involved in nutrient cycles that boost plant growth. But there are also bad, plant-parasitic nematodes, that have the power to ravage a crop and cause significant yield loss. Dr. Kristi Sanchez’s number one priority is to help growers identify and manage the bad ones so they harvest a healthy crop.

TeamTeleos is onsite today at the Florida Tomato Institute's Annual Conference! We are proud to be Gold Sponsors of this event each year.

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.

Meister Media Worldwide's Annual Soil Health Report is now available! Our very own Dr. Randy (RM) Huckaba was interviewed for the piece, sharing thoughts on how soil fumigation with TELONE™ can be a vital part of a sustainable pest management plan.

Huckaba agrees that sustainability is an important consideration with fumigation. “The increased interest in sustainability and soil health has resulted in extensive testing to determine the potential impacts of fumigation on the soil microbiome. Teleos has contracted with an industry-leading third-party soil testing company called Biome Makers Inc. who conducted tests across diverse soil types and production conditions in multiple crops. The results indicate that TELONE™ does not decimate the soil as previously believed, but rather, has little to no negative impact on biodiversity observed in the soil microbiome,” he says.

For the past two months (July and August), TriCal Inc. has been proudly promoting our Women in Ag campaign across our social media platforms. We hope you’ve been following along as we have introduced the remarkable women in agriculture who are part of our team. These women are essential to our organization, and our success wouldn’t be possible without each of them. (Read More)

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.

Tobacco growers in this region face high nematode pressure, specifically from the destructive guava root knot nematode. These pests wreak havoc on plant roots, and ultimately impact overall quality and marketable yields.

NC State rates TELONE™ "EXCELLENT" against root knot nematodes!

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.
