Sweetpotato growers in California and the mid-Atlantic are busy prepping their fields ahead of planting. One of the biggest threats they face is damage inflicted from root-knot nematodes—especially the destructive Guava Root-Knot nematode in the east.
When it comes to managing nematodes, TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant remains the gold standard. Because of where nematodes live, how they move, and what impacts them, no alternative matches TELONE™’s efficacy in reducing nematode populations deep within the soil.
By targeting nematodes before planting, TELONE™ helps growers give crops the best possible start. TELONE™ creates a protective zone for young roots to establish during the first 6–8 weeks of growth, allowing plants to develop strong, healthy root systems. This often leads to higher yields, improved crop quality, and better ROI for growers.
And for those exporting crops, TELONE™ provides additional peace of mind: it leaves behind zero residuals and meets EU market standards for sweetpotatoes grown in treated soil.
“Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.”
— Daniel Webster
Agriculture has always been the foundation of progress. Long before modern technology and industry, it was the work of farmers that built communities, economies, and opportunity.
At Trident Ag, we are proud to support the growers who continue that legacy today. Healthy soils and strong crops are more than production goals. They are the roots of thriving communities and a sustainable future.
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.
The Reddick Coulter Applicator is designed for accurate liquid fertilizer application in row crop operations. Fluted coulters cut through residue to a preset depth, injecting fertilizer directly into the soil under pressure to reduce evaporation and preserve soil moisture.
Precision fertilizer placement where it counts.
Available in 4, 6, 8, and 12 row configurations with multiple row spacings.

A few weeks ago, Reddick sent out another round of custom spray trucks to customers in Massachusetts and Canada. These fleet units were built with three pumps, three engines, and separate tanks to prevent cross contamination, designed for performance in the field.
If you are looking for a lawn care, plant health care, or pest control truck, Reddick Equipment can help design a system that fits your operation.
Liberty Acres Fertilizer liquid fertilizers deliver efficient, consistent nutrition to help crops reach their full potential. When combined with custom fertility programs, each plan is built around your soil, crop, and production goals to support reliable performance in the field.
Liberty Acres Fertilizer offers custom-formulated liquid fertilizer blends that can be used as a side-dress and be bare-ground applied or knifed-in.

Most people measure a season by what they can see: the canopy, the uniformity, the yield. But long before that first leaf breaks through the surface, critical decisions have already been made.
In New Zealand agriculture, soilborne disease pressure doesn’t wait. That’s why proactive soil fumigation and prevention strategies play such a vital role before planting even begins. Reducing pathogen load early protects vulnerable root systems, supports uniform crop establishment, and sets the tone for the entire season.
As we partner with growers across New Zealand, we’re reminded that success isn’t accidental, it’s strategic. Strong foundations. Strong crops. Stronger seasons.
Spring applications for onions are underway across the PNW. Onions are very susceptible to nematode damage, so a grower's best defense is managing nematodes before they become a problem.
In the PNW specifically, growers often use a blend of TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant and chloropicrin—the first to manage nematodes, and the latter to help with certain soilborne diseases, such as fusarium wilt and pink root (as seen in the photo).
A TELONE™/chloropicrin blend or co-application not only defends against nematodes/soilborne diseases, but can also enhance root growth, allowing onions to develop in an environment with less pest pressure.
By protecting the root zone during the critical first weeks of growth, TELONE™ creates optimal conditions for stronger, healthier roots, with the potential for larger bulbs, higher yields, and better-quality onions.
Set yourself up for a successful onion season with TELONE™ by Teleos, and remember, there's no coming back from a poor start!
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.
TriCal de Baja specializes in the distribution and application of insecticides and fumigants throughout the Baja, Sinaloa, Jalisco, and Michoacan regions of Mexico.
