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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Harvested Onions will soon be on their way to your local market! Others will move to storage where they will be kept for anywhere from one to eight months, with the farm retrieving them as market demand rises.

Research highlights the profound impact of Strike™ in fostering stronger, more extensive root systems, increasing bulb size, yield, and quality, and giving growers greater control over crop health and development.
