TriCal, Inc. 
California’s specialty crops face major pressure from plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) attacking roots underground.
Top offenders include root-knot, lesion, ring, cyst, and dagger nematodes, all capable of stunting plant growth and reducing yields.
Plant parasitic nematodes cost California growers millions each year by damaging the roots of:
- Almonds
- Grapes
- Citrus
- lVegetables
- Strawberries
TriCal was founded in 1961 by three young men – Richard Storkan, Jerry Hanes, and Robert McCaslin – who were on a mission to carry out commercial soil fumigation by specialized methods.
Trident Ag Products Trident's Idaho sugar beet trial is underway with soil fumigation using CPM 65. This application is the first step in our effort to enhance sugar percentage and increase tonnage per acre. While the process is just beginning, establishing healthy soil is essential for supporting strong crop performance throughout the season.
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.

Hear from:
- Dr. Amanda Gevens, University of Wisconsin plant pathologist
- Joy Youwakim, soil microbiologist
- Dr. Chad Hutchinson, global director of potato research for TriCal Group
They’ll tackle what’s really driving common scab pressure, how soil microbes and soil fumigation interact, and what the latest research says about effective management.

Another year brings another successful potato trial at Trident Ag Products. This season, we expanded to two trials and increased the plot size to half pivot fields. Our multi-year approach allows us to work closely with growers and monitor performance over time, helping us gather strong, reliable data.
We continue to see positive results in managing the early die complex in potatoes, including the suppression of vert and black dot in stem tissue. These improvements support healthier plants and stronger yields for our growers.
