In the PNW specifically, growers often use a blend of TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant and chloropicrin. A TELONE™/chloropicrin blend or co-application not only defends against nematodes/soilborne diseases, but can also enhance root growth, allowing onions to develop in an environment with less pest pressure.

The contrast between these two blocks tells a powerful story. The block on the left was not treated. The block on the right received Pic-Plus prior to planting. When disease is mitigated proactively before planting, crops have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
After experiencing significant plant loss due to Fusarium and Verticillium, this greenhouse tomato grower turned to Strike 60 as a soil solution. Following application, plants showed no further dieback or wilting and began to thrive. The result was a healthier crop with strong, dark green foliage and large leaves. Tomato fruit developed uniformly in size and color, with a glossy finish and no blemishes—demonstrating the impact of effective soil management in controlled environments.

Using TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant to prep the soil ahead of planting creates a zone of protection, allowing delicate roots to establish into healthy potatoes. Using TELONE™ in combination with chloropicrin also helps suppress many soilborne diseases that affect potatoes, including verticillium, common scab, rhizoctonia, fusarium, pythium, and more!
Josh Freeman was able to see both sides of the coin on the same farm yesterday. On a positive note, the grafted plants really took off this week and are now larger than the non-grafted. On the negative side, conditions have been favorable and we’re seeing Fusarium wilt less than 30 days post planting. Certainly not a positive start for the non-grafted plants so early in the season.
Trical New Zealand recently completed a commercial fumigation job on the watermelon blocks for a valued customer in Levin, North Island. Fumigation targeted Fusarium sp, but they tackled other pests too. Thanks to perfect moisture and temperature conditions, the TriCal NZ team did an outstanding job using Pic-Plus.
