Meet Steve Mills, Operations Specialist at TriCal Australia.

With more than 35 years of experience across post-harvest fumigation, pre-plant soil fumigation, and fumigant operations, Steve brings extensive industry knowledge to the TriCal Australia team. After previously working with S.A Rural Agencies and later Viterra Australia as Pest Control Training Manager, he returned to the business in 2019 following TriCal Group’s acquisition of the Wingfield site.

Throughout his time with TriCal Australia, Steve has held several positions including QPS Fumigation Supervisor, QPS Fumigation Manager, and Training & Compliance Manager, before stepping into his current role as Operations Specialist in 2025. Today, he supports all facets of operations while mentoring team members and sharing his knowledge across fumigation, safety, compliance, and operational systems.

According to Steve, the most rewarding part of his role is mentoring and training the next generation of fumigation professionals.

Effective potato production starts with soil conditions that support strong emergence and consistent plant development. Soil fumigation with chloropicrin helps protect soil health and reduce disease pressure, supporting improved plant establishment, stronger root development, and more uniform crop growth across the field.

TriCal Group works closely in collaboration with universities and researchers to protect our food supply and health. The chemicals we use are registered in varying chemical formulations for maximum performance, safety, and environmental health. All have been listed as exempt under EPA residue tolerance, meaning no resulting residue in or on food grown after soil treatment with these chemistries.

Now is the time to schedule your soil fumigation consultation with a TriCal PCA. Proper soil preparation plays an important role in supporting healthy crops, strong yields, and long-term field performance.

Our team is here to help you evaluate your field needs and develop a soil fumigation plan tailored to your operation.
