Meet Jerome Bateup, one of the employees of TriCal Australia.
Jerome has been with the company for two years as a Soil Fumigator based out of Bayswater, Victoria, where he is responsible for delivering and applying soil fumigants. Throughout his time with TriCal Australia, Jerome has developed professionally in many ways, including learning from experienced fumigators how to safely handle and manage products, monitor and maintain gas systems during application, and better understand correct soil preparation and local weather conditions in relation to soil suitability and application timing.
His day-to-day work varies from delivering products to customers, receiving, storing and dispatching goods from the yard, and travelling locally or interstate to conduct applications.
According to Jerome, the best part of his job is working alongside experienced people, giving him confidence in achieving great results for customers. One thing he wishes others understood about his role is the importance of soil health management.
When Jerome is not working, he enjoys spending time with his partner and one-year-old son, reading, running, and watching sports. This year, the thing he is looking forward to most is marrying his partner.
Jerome is just one of the many people who help keep TriCal Australia running every day. Thanks to Jerome, and many others like him, TriCal Australia continues supporting growers with science-based soil solutions that help promote healthy soil and long-term productivity.

California sweetpotato applications are going strong and will continue through mid-June! California grows approximately 20% of the sweet potatoes produced in the United States annually, making it the second-largest producer behind North Carolina.
The image below is a sweetpotato application in California last spring. California sweetpotato growers understand the importance of starting strong belowground; that's why many trust TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant to prep their soil ahead of planting.
Plant-parasitic nematodes can significantly impact root development, crop quality, and overall yield potential if not managed early.
By reducing nematode pressure during the critical early weeks of growth, TELONE™ helps establish healthier, more extensive root systems capable of supporting improved crop performance, increased marketable yields, and stronger return on investment.
For growers supplying export markets, TELONE™ also leaves behind zero residuals, and sweetpotatoes grown in TELONE™-prepped soil are approved for sale in the EU.
Drip irrigation delivers water and nutrients right where they are needed, supporting strong vine growth, efficient water use, and consistent fruit development. The result is uniform, high-quality watermelons at harvest.
Trical Group's design teams work with our outside sales staff and the grower to develop efficient and cost-effective irrigation designs that meet the grower's goals and industry uniformity standards. They also will work together to troubleshoot or upgrade existing irrigation systems. Our design team prepares:
Carrot production relies on well-prepared soil and consistent growing conditions from the start. Uniform germination, root development, and straight, high-quality carrots all depend on a healthy, well-managed soil profile.
This block was soil fumigated with Tri-Form 60 last December, targeting soil-borne fungi and nematodes. By addressing these pressures early, growers can support more consistent crop establishment and improved yield outcomes.
TriCal New Zealand works alongside growers to deliver soil solutions that help produce reliable, high-quality carrot crops.
Canker disease in almond orchards can present a significant challenge, impacting tree health and long-term productivity if not effectively managed. Drawing on experience from California, where this issue has been prevalent for many years, TriCal Australia is working closely with TriCal teams in the United States to apply proven management approaches.
One key strategy involves managing surviving structures following orchard removal. Soil fumigation plays an important role in reducing these sources of disease, helping to support a healthier soil environment ahead of replanting.
By combining global expertise with local application, TriCal Australia supports growers in strengthening orchard establishment and long-term performance.
