Fall application season is still active in the PNW, where carrot growers are busy prepping their soil with TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant ahead of planting.
Carrot growers in the PNW face high nematode pressure which can affect marketable yields and quality. Root-knot nematodes are the most common and cause galls, misshapen, forked, or hairy roots (as seen in the photo below). Plants are often stunted and wounds invite soil-borne diseases.
That's why growers depend on TELONE™ to help combat nematodes before they have a chance to inflict damage. Using TELONE™ to prep the soil before planting creates a zone of protection where future crops can thrive without the threat of nematode pressure.
