Before strawberries reach their characteristic color and flavor, there is a silent work that occurs under the soil. Proper agronomic management allows plants to develop evenly, sustain fruit weight, and maintain their productivity throughout the cycle.

# Soil Fumigation # Soil Health # StrawberriesIn our latest The Dirt: A Blog article, "Why Marketable Yield Matters More Than Total Yield" Dr. Chad Hutchinson shares insights from a panel discussion with Seed World U.S. Editor Aimee Nielson and Jeff Douglas of Douglas Agricultural Services on protecting potato quality and value. From common scab management to systems thinking across genetics, soil, and targeted tools, the focus was clear. Quality is manageable when decisions work together.

Shank application is a widely used method for applying soil fumigants such as Strike in crops including potatoes, capsicums, tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries. By injecting Strike directly into the soil profile at depth, the product is placed where soil-borne pests and diseases are most active. This method improves distribution through the root zone while reducing surface loss and off-gassing. Effective soil sealing following application helps maximize fumigant retention and consistency in the field. As a result, shank application supports reliable pre-plant pest management and healthier crop establishment.
Up to 90% of a plant’s growth happens underground. Strong, healthy roots determine how well a crop absorbs water and nutrients—directly impacting yield, uniformity, and overall plant resilience.
That’s why investing in soil preparation early helps create the conditions crops need to grow stronger, withstand stress, and perform consistently throughout the season.

By managing these threats, soil fumigation helps create a healthier environment for crop establishment and growth.
Healthy soil supports stronger stands (the number of plants that successfully grow in a field), vigorous roots, and improved yield potential right from the start. Investing in soil health sets the stage for a successful growing season.
