Trical Inc. just completed a raspberry soil fumigation project along Coastal California, helping a local farmer ensure a thriving harvest season. Booking a consultation with a Trical Inc PCA can help farmers learn how to support the success of a farmer's planting season.

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.

With the year coming to a close, now's the time to start thinking about your orchard replant! Before you get started, be sure to check out our "Managing Replant Problem & Nematodes" PDF, available for download on the link below.

In this PDF Teleos covers the orchard replant problem, also called replant disease. Orchard replant disease is the unfortunate result of planting trees and vines into soil where nematodes and soilborne diseases are present.

Tree nuts/fruits planted immediately after tree nuts/fruits commonly experience this problem. Grapes planted after tree nuts/fruits also experience the replant problem.

Fortunately for growers, using TELONE™ ahead of orchard replant helps manage destructive nematodes and prunus replant disease. By prepping the soil ahead of transplanting rootstock, young roots are able to establish into healthier trees, free of nematode pressure. The results are larger trunk diameters, larger canopies, increased marketable yields, and improved quality.

Remember, there's no coming back from a poor start—especially in orchards!

John Washington discusses how this lawn of St Augustine grass which has not been replaced with any new sod for 15 years.

"It is managed with high potassium and key essential micronutrients at low levels and soil biome enhancing food sources. Low nitrogen and phosphorous are used as needed but not over applied ! All of the commercial lawncare companies only apply high Nitrogen, as well as weed killers and insecticides, but they do not address the fundamental needs of turfgrass management in Florida. The different approach on the lawn shown here results in stronger grass, less need for mowing (every two weeks in summer), higher drought resistance, fungal disease prevention, and better root systems. The cost and input is actually less than the commercial services. One application of imidacloprid is made per year (July or August) for mole crickets and such. Spot treatment of weeds where and when necessary, usually 2-3 times per year, and a foliar nutrition spray high in potassium and including phosphite for Pythium management. I am not selling anything here, just sharing that there are effective and environmentally sound, and economical ways to manage some really nice turfgrass in Florida."
