As these leafy green vegetables continue to develop, every stage of the growing season contributes to healthy, productive crops. Today's growth lays the foundation for tomorrow's harvest. At TriCal New Zealand, we're proud to support growers in creating the conditions that help crops thrive from the ground up.
Did you know? Spinach is one of the fastest-growing leafy vegetables, with many varieties ready to harvest in as little as 30 to 45 days under the right growing conditions. Healthy soil plays an important role in producing strong, high-quality crops, and at TriCal Australia, we're proud to support growers in creating the growing environments that help crops like spinach thrive.
Proactive soil management plays an important role in supporting healthy baby spinach production. Through bed non-tarped soil fumigation targeting Clubroot, TriCal New Zealand helps growers create healthier growing environments that support crop establishment, soil performance, and long-term productivity.
This BB Spinach field illustrates the significant benefits of soil fumigation using Tri-Form 60. The right side of the field was planted earlier, while the left side was planted a few weeks later. However, due to the superior soil health achieved through TriCal NZ's soil fumigation treatment, the later planting on the left is rapidly catching up in growth and vigor.
Take a look at this BB Spinach crop as it progresses through its growth stage! This block was previously fumigated with Tri-Form 60, ensuring the soil is free from harmful pathogens and pests. A well-prepared foundation leads to stronger, healthier plants and a more bountiful harvest.
