A recent industry survey highlights a growing challenge across U.S. agriculture: rising input costs are forcing difficult decisions in the field.
According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, nearly 70% of farmers report they cannot afford all the fertilizer they need for the 2026 season. In some regions, that number climbs even higher, with many growers planning to reduce application rates or shift acreage—decisions that can directly impact yield and overall production.
As input costs rise and margins tighten, efficiency becomes more important than ever.
That’s where what happens belowground matters. By prepping the soil ahead of planting with TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant, growers can establish stronger, healthier root systems. Efficient roots improve water and nutrient uptake, helping reduce inputs needed like fertilizer, water, and contact nematicides.
In today’s environment, solutions that improve efficiency aren’t just helpful—they’re essential.

Vidalia onions are officially heading to markets starting today! The Georgia Ag Commission, Tyler J. Harper, has declared April 13 as the official pack date for these prized onions.
Vidalia onions are known for their sweet, mild flavor and are grown exclusively in a small region of Georgia with unique low-sulfur soils.
Their higher sugar content and gentle taste set them apart from other onions. With their tender texture and subtle flavor, Vidalias shine both raw—in salads, sandwiches, and dips—and cooked, whether caramelized, grilled, or fried.
But it's important to remember, these prized onions are not immune to nematodes! Georgia growers know that their best defense is prepping the soil with a TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant/chloropicrin blend before planting transplants. In the case of Vidalia onions, nematode pressure can reduce the distinctive size and sweetness that define these premium onions.
Managing nematodes is essential to protecting onion yield and quality. A TELONE™/chloropicrin blend is one of the most effective tools available, targeting nematodes in the future root zone and giving crops a strong start. This approach is especially valuable in high-pressure regions like the Pacific Northwest and Georgia’s Vidalia onion fields, where nematodes can significantly impact bulb size and marketability.
By safeguarding roots during the early weeks of growth, a TELONE™/chloropicrin program supports stronger root systems, healthier plants, and larger, more uniform bulbs. For Vidalia growers, that means higher yields, consistent quality, and the ability to deliver the premium sweet onions their customers expect.
This orchard soil fumigation project in White Salmon, WA., showcases the precision and care that go into preparing for healthy, productive trees. It’s all about building a solid foundation below the surface to support success above it.
At Trident Ag, we’re proud to partner with growers to deliver efficient, dependable solutions in every field.
