Sweet Potatoes | California

New research from TriCal, Inc. is helping answer one of the biggest questions in Sweetpotato production: Can soil fumigation effectively manage root-knot nematodes while preserving soil health?

Our latest field trials near Atwater and Turlock, California, explored the impact of soil fumigation on nematode suppression, soil microbiome stability, and crop performance. The early results offer encouraging insights for growers focused on protecting yields while supporting long-term soil productivity.

TriCal was founded in 1961 by three young men - Richard Storkan, Jerry Hanes, and Robert McCaslin, who were on a mission to carry out commercial soil fumigation by specialized methods.

"We are farm consultants, helping growers to get the greatest return on investment for their crop while helping them navigate the regulations and use requirements. We are custom applicators so we have hands-on, direct field experience. We provide field support and technicians. Just like my father (TriCal Co-Founder & President) said in 1963, 'we have proved the worth of these methods.' We work hand in hand with growers so they can reap the benefits."
