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.
Growers often rotate crops to improve the physical characteristics of the soil and/or to suppress soil borne diseases. Soil Fumigation suppresses soil-borne diseases better than standard practices which can lead to reduced rotation length and farming your better ground more often.

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.
Start cleaning out nematodes and other soilborne diseases and you have healthier plants resisting disease and reducing topical pesticide use. Soil fumigation promotes healthier plants with stronger root systems that are better at mining nutrients.

Soil health plays a major role in the success of your crops. Set your fields up for a more productive season with proven soil fumigation strategies that boost soil conditions and increase marketable yields. What you do now determines next season’s performance.
Soil Fumigation immediately knocks back soil-borne disease giving plants their best start. Suppressed disease allows the native species to rebound in the soil. Trials with major universities have demonstrated an increase of beneficial organisms in soil that has been properly fumigated.

Uniform growth reflects agronomic management designed to achieve quality, efficiency, and consistency in every row.
Soil borne diseases attack plant roots making the root system and the plant weaker. Plants treated with Fumigants have stronger root systems and healthier plants that are better at mining for nutrients. The plant is able to find and take up the nutrients it needs. Growers have been able to cut back as much as 20% of the nitrogen used saving $50-100 per acre. Farming disease means wasted water and wasted nitrogen.

The Growing Better Potatoes workshop, hosted by Australian Horticultural Research (AHR) and the PotatoLink project, focused on soil and disease management strategies to protect potato yield and quality. Experts Dr. Len Tesoriero (CropDoc) and Dr. Chad Hutchinson (TriCal) shared insights on managing soil-borne diseases such as black dot and Verticillium wilt, including the role of integrated soil management practices.
# Australia # Australian Horticultural Research # Black Dot # Dr. Chad Hutchinson # Potatoes # PotatoLink # Soil Health # TriCal AustraliaSoil fumigation is a key tool for managing soil-borne pests, including nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and insects. 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.
