Healthy crops start from the ground. At every stage of cucumber development, proper soil management makes a difference in yield and quality. At Tri-Cal de Baja California, we work together with producers to strengthen their crops from the root. Because a good start in the field translates into better harvests.

Josh Mays was out with a crew setting up a low dose chloropicrin trial on some cucumbers in Alabama not long ago. He walked through an in-row flat fumigation application and how it works in a strip-till situation in this video.
Cucumbers are one of the most pest and disease susceptible vegetable crops and are sensitive to Nematodes, Rhizoctonia and Pythium levels. Moderate numbers of each detected on the SARDI DNA tests will cause economic damage and result in yield losses.
