Did you know blueberries were first introduced into Australia in the early 1970s? Varieties such as Southern Highbush and Rabbiteye have since proven well-suited to Australia’s climate.

Successful blueberry production depends on strong soil conditions and effective root development. TriCal Australia supports growers with science-based soil solutions that help promote healthy crops and consistent production outcomes.

Did you know bush tomatoes are native to Australia and have been a staple in Indigenous Australian diets for thousands of years? These small fruits are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C and have long been valued in traditional practices.

Strong crop performance begins below the surface. TriCal Australia supports growers with science-based soil solutions that help create healthy root systems and resilient production from planting through harvest.

Did you know the quality and uniformity of capsicum fruit starts below the surface? Healthy soils and strong root systems are essential for consistent fruit development and plant performance. TriCal Australia supports growers with science-based soil solutions that help set the foundation for success.

TriCal Group Companies are committed to the safe and responsible use of soil fumigation. We strive to protect you, your community and the environment. Our Companies rely on decades of experience, thousands of in-field application trials, and hundreds of university research studies to find the perfect formulation that is healthy for your crops, profitable for your farm, and safe for your community.

TriCal Australia’s specialized service vehicles play a critical role in our operations, supporting safe and compliant QPS fumigation services in South Australia. Equipped for the secure transport and handling of fumigants, our fleet enables our team to deliver professional container, structural and stored commodity fumigation services with precision and care. Behind every treatment is a commitment to safety, stewardship, and reliable service delivery.

Effective soil fumigation is about precision — placing the right solution at the right depth to manage soil-borne pressures before planting. TriCal Australia works with growers to deliver tailored application methods suited to diverse production systems, ensuring accurate placement within the root zone where it matters most. By combining technical expertise with proven soil solutions, we help support uniform crop establishment and consistent performance across the season.

Behind every successful strawberry crop is strong soil preparation and effective management of soil-borne pests. TriCal Australia is proud to support strawberry growers with science-based pre-plant soil solutions that help create healthier root systems and more resilient production. From the ground up, TriCal Australia works alongside growers to strengthen the foundation of every season.

TriCal Australia supports growers with proven pre-plant soil fumigation solutions designed to strengthen crops from the ground up. By managing soil-borne pests and improving soil conditions before planting, our tailored application methods — including shank and drip systems — help create a healthier foundation for crop establishment. Across Australia’s diverse agricultural regions, we work alongside growers to deliver reliable, science-based soil solutions that support consistent, high-performing production systems.

TriCal Australia provides comprehensive structural fumigation services for effective termite management. Using ProFume in conjunction with proven treatment methods such as full structural tenting and targeted applications, our team delivers thorough and controlled treatments tailored to each site. Once fumigation is complete and the structure has been properly ventilated and cleared, the enclosure is safely removed. Our approach combines technical expertise with proven solutions to protect residential and commercial properties.

Pre-plant soil fumigation was undertaken in Mariginiup, Western Australia as part of a green bean trial for a local grower. The trial focused on improving soil conditions prior to planting to support stronger crop establishment and overall performance. Effective soil preparation plays a key role in managing soil-borne pressures and setting the foundation for a successful season.

TriCal Group works closely in collaboration with universities and researchers to protect our food supply and health. The chemicals we use are registered in varying chemical formulations for maximum performance, safety, and environmental health. All have been listed as exempt under EPA residue tolerance, meaning no resulting residue in or on food grown after soil treatment with these chemistries.

In a recent cherry orchard planting, a central section of post-row ground was left unfumigated due to equipment access limitations. The difference in plant performance was clear — trees established in soil treated with Strike 80 showed stronger growth and improved vigor compared to those planted in untreated soil. Although the variety was considered disease resistant, this experience reinforced the importance of proactive soil preparation. The grower has since committed to fumigating all future plantings.

According to Dr. Chad Hutchinson, Functional Sustainability in agriculture means measurable improvements in soil health, resource efficiency, and overall crop system performance — without sacrificing yield.

Advances in genomic soil analysis now allow us to evaluate soil health at the microbiome level, using DNA sequencing to assess bacterial and fungal populations. By comparing soils before and after practices such as soil fumigation, this technology provides objective insight into how inputs influence disease suppression, biological diversity, and long-term soil function.

Because meaningful sustainability starts below the surface, soil health data is becoming one of the most important tools for guiding better production decisions.
