SCPA goes to Washington! Last week, Teleos Ag Solutions President John Godbehere joined fellow members of the SOUTHERN CROP PRODUCTION ASSOCIATION (SCPA) in Washington, D.C. for the organization's annual Hill Visits.
This annual advocacy event brings together growers, manufacturers, distributors, and allied organizations from across agriculture to meet directly with Congressional offices and share the industry's priorities and challenges. This year, SCPA members and allies met with 69 congressional offices, representing the voices of agriculture on issues including:
At Teleos, we believe it is important to be an active participant in the conversations that shape the future of agriculture. Advocacy efforts like these help ensure policymakers understand the realities facing growers and the businesses that support them.
Thank you to SCPA and the more than 80 participants representing 34 member organizations and industry allies who took the time to engage on behalf of agriculture.

California sweetpotato applications are going strong and will continue through mid-June! California grows approximately 20% of the sweet potatoes produced in the United States annually, making it the second-largest producer behind North Carolina.
The image below is a sweetpotato application in California last spring. California sweetpotato growers understand the importance of starting strong belowground; that's why many trust TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant to prep their soil ahead of planting.
Plant-parasitic nematodes can significantly impact root development, crop quality, and overall yield potential if not managed early.
By reducing nematode pressure during the critical early weeks of growth, TELONE™ helps establish healthier, more extensive root systems capable of supporting improved crop performance, increased marketable yields, and stronger return on investment.
For growers supplying export markets, TELONE™ also leaves behind zero residuals, and sweetpotatoes grown in TELONE™-prepped soil are approved for sale in the EU.
Drip irrigation delivers water and nutrients right where they are needed, supporting strong vine growth, efficient water use, and consistent fruit development. The result is uniform, high-quality watermelons at harvest.
Trical Group's design teams work with our outside sales staff and the grower to develop efficient and cost-effective irrigation designs that meet the grower's goals and industry uniformity standards. They also will work together to troubleshoot or upgrade existing irrigation systems. Our design team prepares:
Carrot production relies on well-prepared soil and consistent growing conditions from the start. Uniform germination, root development, and straight, high-quality carrots all depend on a healthy, well-managed soil profile.
This block was soil fumigated with Tri-Form 60 last December, targeting soil-borne fungi and nematodes. By addressing these pressures early, growers can support more consistent crop establishment and improved yield outcomes.
TriCal New Zealand works alongside growers to deliver soil solutions that help produce reliable, high-quality carrot crops.
Canker disease in almond orchards can present a significant challenge, impacting tree health and long-term productivity if not effectively managed. Drawing on experience from California, where this issue has been prevalent for many years, TriCal Australia is working closely with TriCal teams in the United States to apply proven management approaches.
One key strategy involves managing surviving structures following orchard removal. Soil fumigation plays an important role in reducing these sources of disease, helping to support a healthier soil environment ahead of replanting.
By combining global expertise with local application, TriCal Australia supports growers in strengthening orchard establishment and long-term performance.

Broadcast tarp soil fumigation is an effective pre-plant strategy for apple orchard establishment, helping to manage soil-borne pests and diseases across the entire treatment area.
TriCal New Zealand has been carrying out broadacre, tarp-applied soil fumigation using Pic-Plus ahead of apple planting. Following the required withholding period, these treated blocks will be planted with new apple trees.
The objective is to manage soil-borne pests associated with apple replant disease while creating a healthier soil environment. By improving soil conditions prior to planting, this approach supports strong tree establishment, healthy root development, and long-term orchard performance.
