TriCal is proud to bring together a team of knowledgeable professionals dedicated to supporting grower success.

Strong partnerships are at the core of what TriCal does, helping growers navigate challenges and build toward long-term success.

TriCal Inc. 
This potato grown in untreated soil shows symptoms of common scab, a soilborne disease that can impact tuber quality and marketability. Common scab can significantly reduce the value of a crop due to its appearance.
An integrated management plan, including soil fumigation where appropriate, can help reduce disease pressure and create a healthier growing environment for your potato crop. Every field is different, which is why selecting the right strategy starts with understanding your soil and production goals.
TriCal, works with growers to develop customized soil health solutions that support strong crop performance from the ground up.

As the winter berry season comes to a close in Santa Maria, our fleet is taking a brief siesta while our team prepares for the busy summer berry season. Behind the scenes, we are planning, organizing, and getting ready to continue providing growers with the reliable crop consulting and support they depend on throughout the season.
If you are preparing for the months ahead, now is a great time to schedule a consultation with a TriCal PCA.
Whether custom- or grower-applied, TriCal does a field-specific survey and develop the treatment plan in partnership with the grower. We synthesize a broad range of data to optimize the soil treatment tailored to each grower's specific needs. These evaluations include considerations of agronomy, resource conservation, soil biology and soil science, meteorology, and economics.
TriCal Inc. Preparation in the field starts long before planting begins.
These irrigation pipes are staged and ready for pre-irrigation ahead of soil fumigation and bedding operations. From early planning to field execution, the TriCal team takes pride in staying organized, prepared, and ready to support growers every step of the way.
It’s the attention to detail in the field that helps lay the foundation for a successful season.
