Please join us in congratulating Justin Harrison, Stewardship Manager at Teleos Ag Solutions, on earning his Certified Crop Adviser (CCA) designation through the American Society of Agronomy.
Achieving CCA certification requires a strong foundation in agronomy and real-world experience, along with passing both a comprehensive international exam and a region-specific exam covering soil and water management, nutrient management, crop production, and pest management. CCAs also commit to a strict code of ethics and ongoing continuing education to maintain their certification.
This credential reflects Justin’s dedication to science-based decision making and responsible stewardship—values that are core to how we support growers and our industry. Having a CCA leading our stewardship efforts strengthens our ability to provide informed guidance, promote best practices, and ensure TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant is used safely and effectively.
When asked about his recent accomplishment, Justin shared:
"Growing up on a farm, helping my dad and our neighbors work through the decisions that make or break a season, gave me a foundation that made earning this certification especially meaningful.
The CCA is widely recognized across the ag industry as a mark of technical credibility, and for our customers, that means when we talk stewardship like protecting soil health, managing inputs responsibly, or making informed decisions in the field, you can trust the guidance is grounded in both lived experience and a verified standard from a Certified Crop Advisor. I'm proud to be a CCA, and I look forward to sharing what I've learned and applying it to our stewardship efforts.”
Reliable water filtration is essential to maintaining an efficient irrigation system. High-quality filters protect emitters, valves, and pipelines from clogging caused by debris, organic matter, and sediment—helping ensure uniform water distribution and consistent crop performance. At TriEst Ag Group, we provide filtration solutions designed for long-term reliability and easy maintenance, supporting cleaner systems, reduced downtime, and improved irrigation efficiency.

The contrast between these two blocks tells a powerful story. The block on the left was not treated. The block on the right received Pic-Plus prior to planting.
In the untreated block, Fusarium pressure has led to crop collapse and severe wilting, a clear example of how soilborne disease can compromise plant health and yield potential.
On the treated block, the difference is unmistakable. A uniform, flourishing canopy reflects stronger root development, improved establishment, and reduced pathogen pressure.
When disease is mitigated proactively before planting, crops have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Prevention at the soil level directly impacts performance above ground. Strategic soil management isn’t just preparation: it’s protection.
Precision meets efficiency in the grove. This Field Automation equipment by WiseConn is helping deliver smarter irrigation for dekopons in Exeter. By automating water scheduling and monitoring, growers can ensure every tree gets the right amount of water at the right time, maximizing yield while conserving resources.
At Landmark Irrigation, we are proud to bring advanced technology to California agriculture that saves water, saves time, and supports healthier, more productive groves.

IGI CO2 is registered by the EPA. Although it is not widely known, CO2 must be registered by the EPA in order to be used as a fumigation pesticide. The use of CO2 as a pesticide is consistent with the protocols and ideologies of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Fumigation of commodities with IGI CO2 can be considered as a pest control strategy, especially with technological advances in fumigation equipment.
IGI CO2 is Certified for Organic Use:
IGI CO2 is not an organic gas but it is certified for use post-crop harvest to fumigate the producer's crops. IGI CO2 is certified for use in pest management programs under the USDA National Organic Program.
Grown in New Zealand’s unique conditions, every melon reflects the care invested long before harvest.
From soil preparation to canopy development, successful melon production depends on consistency — consistent soil health, balanced nutrition, and proactive disease mitigation. When the foundation is right, the crop responds with uniform growth, strong vines, and high-quality fruit.
New Zealand growers understand that premium produce begins with smart decisions early in the season.
Strong soil. Strong vines. Exceptional melons.
TriCal Group Companies are committed to the safe and responsible use of soil fumigation. We strive to protect you, your community and the environment. Our Companies rely on decades of experience, thousands of in-field application trials, and hundreds of university research studies to find the perfect formulation that is healthy for your crops, profitable for your farm, and safe for your community.
