Watermellon
Trical New Zealand recently completed a commercial fumigation job on the watermelon blocks for a valued customer in Levin, North Island. Fumigation targeted Fusarium sp, but they tackled other pests too. Thanks to perfect moisture and temperature conditions, the TriCal NZ team did an outstanding job using Pic-Plus.

Watermelons are a popular crop in Japan. Unfortunately, they are also highly susceptible to destructive root-knot nematodes which negatively impact overall yields and fruit quality. Japanese growers know that nothing is more effective against nematodes than TELONE™!
Part II: A Deeper Look into Grafted Watermelon Production and Management
In this post we want take you through year 2 results and our findings into grafted watermelon production and management. The key focus points of the trial were increasing yields and maturity window of grafted plants using chloropicrin.
A Deeper Look into Grafted Watermelon Production and Management
In this blog and video presentation we will take a deeper dive into why we recommend grafted plants and fumigation as potential solutions to obstacles in watermelon production. I would like to focus on grafted plants as a tool and potential solution to grower obstacles.
A Deeper Look into Grafted Watermelon Production and Management
In our last blog we went over the obstacles that growers face in watermelon production and their potential solutions. In this video presentation we will take a deeper dive into why we recommend grafted plants and fumigation as potential solutions to obstacles in watermelon production.
Overcoming Obstacles in Watermelon Production
Sustainable crop production is a complex issue that every farmer faces each season. The production issues for watermelon are not limited to those listed here by any means, but the following are the focal points of ongoing research..
