Check out this incredible footage from one of our latest blueberry field projects, highlighting a vital phase in crop preparation—soil fumigation.
Prior to planting any blueberry varieties, our team meticulously prepares the soil to ensure optimal conditions. Soil fumigation is a key part of that process—it helps manage nematodes and harmful soil-borne pathogens that can threaten young plants. This practice not only contributes to cleaner fields but also promotes healthier crops, improved yields, and sustainable agricultural practices.

Trident Ag specializes in safeguarding growers' investments through effective soil fumigation solutions that encourage robust crop development from the outset.
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.

Onion growers are planning for Strike™ to significantly improve soil health and biodiversity and provide exceptional benefits for growers by increasing marketable yields and enhancing onion size.
Disease decreases crop quality. Strike improves crop health and marketable yield. This allows the grower to capture more sales and profits or the flexibility to farm less acres for the same profit.
Trident Ag Products and Dr. Maxwell Handiseni are conducting a potato trial in Boardman, Oregon, focused on tackling pathogens like verticillium wilt and black dot in potatoes using chloropicrin, the active ingredient in Strike™ Soil Fumigant.
By incorporating Strike™, we aim to enhance soil health and protect crop yields. Stay tuned for updates on the trial's progress and its impact on crop health.
Growers often rotate crops to improve the physical characteristics of the soil and/or to suppress soil borne diseases. Strike soil treatment suppresses soil borne diseases better than standard practices which can lead to reduced rotation length and farming your better ground more often.
In Madras, Oregon, Trident Ag Products is initiating an exciting trial to explore innovative solutions for managing verticillium wilt in leaf mint. This study integrates chloropicrin-based soil fumigants with a biological fungicide containing Bacillus spp., aiming to suppress pathogens and enhance crop health.
Trident will publish the results of this trial when the results are in!
