At Trident Ag, we recognize that healthy soil is essential for a productive hop yard. Soil-borne pests and diseases can compromise plant vigor, ultimately diminishing yield and quality. Our targeted soil fumigation services are designed to establish the optimal growing conditions for your hops.

• Suppression of harmful soil pathogens
• Enhanced root establishment and overall plant health
• Increased yield potential for a successful harvest

CoreBotanica hosted another fantastic Annual Grower Meeting. Last week, Ryan Kelsey had the privilege of representing Trident Ag, offering valuable insights on soil health and sustainable farming practices.

Trident Ag is grateful for the opportunity to engage with growers, explore industry innovations, and contribute to the ongoing success of our agricultural community.

Onion growers are planning for Strike™ to significantly improve soil health and biodiversity and provide exceptional benefits for growers by increasing marketable yields and enhancing onion size.

Strike formulations are Chloropicrin-based products and some of the most effective soil fumigants to manage soil borne pests and pathogens in potatoes and other crops. Pre-plant soil fumigation treatment is the first step in a successful soil health and pest management system. Strike can be applied alone or in combination with other fumigants via shank injections. The Strike product line helps you grow a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable crop year after year.

Trident Ag Products and Dr. Maxwell Handiseni are conducting a potato trial in Boardman, Oregon, focused on tackling pathogens like verticillium wilt and black dot in potatoes using chloropicrin, the active ingredient in Strike™ Soil Fumigant.

By incorporating Strike™, we aim to enhance soil health and protect crop yields. Stay tuned for updates on the trial's progress and its impact on crop health.

Disease decreases crop quality. Strike improves crop health and marketable yield. This allows the grower to capture more sales and profits or the flexibility to farm less acres for the same profit.

In Madras, Oregon, Trident Ag Products is initiating an exciting trial to explore innovative solutions for managing verticillium wilt in leaf mint. This study integrates chloropicrin-based soil fumigants with a biological fungicide containing Bacillus spp., aiming to suppress pathogens and enhance crop health.

Trident will publish the results of this trial when the results are in!

Trident Ag conducting a potato field trial at Rupert, Idaho to address the challenges of "early die" in potatoes. This trial focuses on utilizing Chloropicrin, the active ingredient in Strike™ Soil Fumigant, to effectively manage pathogens and promote healthier, more resilient crops.

Growers often rotate crops to improve the physical characteristics of the soil and/or to suppress soil borne diseases. Strike soil treatment suppresses soil borne diseases better than standard practices which can lead to reduced rotation length and farming your better ground more often.

Trident Ag is excited to be exhibiting at the 2025 Potato Expo today in Orlando, Florida! Stop by booth #1209 to meet our team and discuss innovative soil health solutions tailored for potato growers. Whether you're looking for ways to enhance your yields or optimize your soil, we’re here to help (Read More)

The start of a new year is the ideal time to plan soil treatment and set the foundation for a successful growing season. Healthy soil is essential for producing high-quality crops, especially when managing the demands of a long growing cycle. Proper soil preparation before planting not only promotes resilient crop growth but also supports consistent yield success.

TriCal Group works closely in collaboration with universities and researchers to protect our food supply and health. The chemicals we use are registered in varying chemical formulations for maximum performance, safety, and environmental health. All have been listed as exempt under EPA residue tolerance, meaning no resulting residue in or on food grown after soil treatment with these chemistries.

Trident Ag completed a hop soil treatment in the Pacific Northwest using Pic-Clor 35 at a rate of 20.5 gallons per acre to effectively suppress nematodes and disease.

Notice the precision of our operator navigating close to the poles with the packer—executing jobs like these requires exceptional skill and determination. It’s truly impressive to see the expertise that goes into every step of the process.

Soil Fumigation promotes a healthy root system for potatoes, onions, carrots, strawberries, melons, nuts, grapes, cucumbers, tomatoes, tree fruit, peppers, eggplants, flowers, nurseries and more. Soil fumigation provides benefits to both consumer and grower.

Growers in the Northwest are gearing up for potato planting season, partnering with Trident Ag for soil treatment with Strike™ to effectively manage common scabs and ensure a strong start to the season.

Start cleaning out nematodes and other soil borne diseases and you have healthier plants resisting disease and reducing topical pesticide use. Soils treated with Strike promote healthier plants with stronger root systems that are better at mining nutrients.

Trident Ag's skilled technician is hard at work before sunrise, as seen in this stunning photo taken in the Columbia Basin, capturing the first light on the horizon. This raised bed, in-row fumigation with Strike™ is helping manage common scabs in a potato field, setting up the grower for a strong, healthy yield. (Read More)

Strike immediately knocks back soil borne disease giving plants their best start. Suppressed disease allows the native species to rebound in the soil. Trials with major universities have demonstrated an increase of beneficial organisms in soil that has been treated with Strike.

Trident Ag. recently completed a Strike™ fumigations in potato fields in Washington State to help control soil-borne diseases like Common Scab, Verticillium Wilt, and Black Dot, ensuring healthier soil and better crop yields.
