It is potato planting season in the Northwest! Trident Ag is committed to equipping growers with the tools and expertise needed for success, from field preparation through to harvest.

Trident is currently assessing potato planting activities in this field. One of the most effective ways to manage soil-borne diseases is by using a trusted soil fumigant. Strike™ Chloropicrin fumigants deliver proven results.

Strike formulations are Chloropicrin-based products and some of the most effective soil fumigants to manage soil borne pests and pathogens in potatoes and other crops. Pre-plant soil fumigation treatment is the first step in a successful soil health and pest management system. Strike can be applied alone or in combination with other fumigants via shank injections. The Strike product line helps you grow a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable crop year after year.

Soil health is vital for producing top-notch crops. Preparing your soil adequately before planting is key to establishing a robust foundation for healthy, resilient plants and ensuring consistent yields each year.

Trident Ag recognizes the significance of optimizing soil conditions to set your operation up for a fruitful season. Our dedicated team is here to assist you in enhancing soil health, managing pest issues, and maximizing crop quality to help you achieve your agricultural objectives.
