We always start with Safety
From the beginning we teamed entomology and plant pathology with chemical science to find safe effective solutions; today we work closely with EPA, USDA, State Departments of Pesticide Regulations, individual county ag commissioners, and our farmers and customers to make sure we preserve land, health, and the environment.
Innovation and R&D sets us apart
We register, defend, manufacture, package, distribute, and apply custom fumigant blends, specialized treatment applications, and other cutting edge growing solutions such as precision irrigation, fertigation, and plant-grafting.
Trust keeps us in business
Close personal relationships are the backbone of our company and how we do business; as a private family-owned company, we are in it for the long haul - success for our growers and customers means success for us.
The Storkan Foundation, in honor of Richard Storkan - former President of TriCal, Inc., was founded in 1987 to encourage graduate research on soil-borne diseases. The name was later changed to The Storkan-Hanes-McCaslin Research Foundation in honor of the three founding members of TriCal: aforementioned Storkan, Jerry Hanes, and Bob McCaslin. The Foundation was created to further the work of the three founders who were always willing to provide time, money, fumigants, and equipment to further research in soil diseases.
The Foundation grants awards on a yearly basis. As of 2023, the Foundation has awarded a total of $628,500 to 92 students across the United States and Canada. In addition to the cash awards, the Foundation supplies airfare each year for the newly elected Fellows of the Storkan-Hanes-McCaslin Foundation, to attend the annual American Phytopathological Society (APS) meeting.
