Stronger plants, better yields, fewer resources - and a lower carbon footprint. Potato growers face big sustainability goals, but with the right tools, we can get there—without sacrificing productivity.

One tool that’s helping make this possible is Strike. Driven by the active ingredient chloropicrin, Strike is a soil fumigant — but not the kind you might have used before. Strike works selectively, targeting harmful pathogens like common scab and black dot while actively supporting beneficial soil microorganisms.

The result? Healthier plants, better yields and fewer resources used overall.

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.
