Our PNW TELONE™ Specialists Robin Matson and Dusty Allen are onsite at the WA/OR Potato Conference in Kennewick, WA. to show how TELONE™ can set you up for a successful potato season.

Potato growers across the PNW know prepping the soil with TELONE™ ahead of planting lessens nematode pressure, creating a zone of protection where developing roots can establish into healthy plants.

NC State Extension recently released its Pest Management Strategic Plan for Strawberries in the Southeast including Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

This detailed plan is a great resource for strawberry growers, giving detailed information on common pests, weeds, pathogens, and best practices.

The guide goes on to say that fumigation with chloropicrin and TELONE™ is an effective way to manage destructive plant parasitic nematodes. "1,3-dichloropropene (Telone II or EC) is mostly used against PPNs. Pic-Clor 60 (chloropicrin + 1,3-dichloropropene) is commonly used by growers in the southern states to mitigate most soil-borne pests, including insects, weeds, PPNs, and pathogens."

On January 28th Cardinal Professional Products hosted the 2025 Vikane Caretakers class in our training facility at the Anaheim office.

TriCal New Zealand recently completed a soil fumigation project for a carrot block, focusing on managing soilborne diseases and pests that can threaten crop health and yields. Soil fumigation is a vital step in creating clean, healthy soil conditions, giving crops the best chance to thrive from the very start.

By addressing these challenges early, growers can ensure stronger plant growth, better harvests, and improved soil longevity for future planting cycles. Whether farmers are dealing with specific soil issues or simply looking to optimize your production, our team is here to help.

Keep an eye out for "California Grown" strawberries on your next shopping trip your grocery store. Trical believes great strawberries begin with healthy soil with soil fumigation solutions designed to support vigorous plant growth and produce berries with exceptional size and quality.

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.

Designed with low maintenance and efficiency in mind, this filtration setup completed for a citrus orchard includes key features like proper venting, a quick-acting pressure relief valve, and a flow meter to ensure optimal performance.

This apple orchard, growing strong and thriving thanks to a soil fumigation treatment completed by TriCal New Zealand using our Pic-Plus product.

Soil Fumigation plays a crucial role in managing challenges like ARD (Apple Replant Disease), ensuring better soil conditions and healthier plant growth. For this orchard, the process involved removing the existing plants, performing the soil fumigation, and allowing the soil to settle for 35-45 days before replanting the apple trees.

Teleos Ag is proud to be a member of the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission and support their mission to increase sweetpotato production and consumption.

NC farmers know that nematodes are a common pest in sweetpotato-growing areas. Nematodes are typically found in coarse-textured soils, with root-knot nematodes being the predominant species, and Guava Root Knot nematodes (Meloidogyne enterolobii) being particularly destructive. Thankfully, growers have a powerful nematode management solution with TELONE™.
