The clocks might have rolled back, but strawberry applications are still going strong across the California coast.
As growers prepare fields ahead of planting, what happens belowground now can have an impact throughout the entire crop cycle.
Strawberries are highly susceptible to plant-parasitic nematodes, which can damage developing roots, limit water and nutrient uptake, and ultimately impact plant vigor, berry quality, and marketable yield.
For a high-value crop like strawberries, every management decision matters. Starting with healthy roots gives growers peace of mind that they’re building a strong foundation for the season ahead.
Remember, there’s no coming back from a poor start!
Put Better Information to Work in the Field
Agricultural technology can help growers monitor conditions, manage irrigation and fertigation, automate routine tasks, and respond more quickly when adjustments are needed.
The right system should fit the crop, operation, and management goals. TriEst Ag Group works with growers to integrate automation, sensors, controls, and other agricultural technologies into practical systems that support more informed decisions throughout the season.
Trical Group's design teams work with our outside sales staff and the grower to develop efficient and cost-effective irrigation designs that meet the grower's goals and industry uniformity standards. They also will work together to troubleshoot or upgrade existing irrigation systems. Our design team prepares:

A new economic analysis highlighted by The Sacramento Bee reveals just how important agriculture is to local economies, communities, and livelihoods.
According to the report commissioned by Sacramento County's Department of Agriculture, the county's agricultural sector generated nearly $1.2 BILLION in economic output in 2024, including:
And the industry continues to contribute. Sacramento County's 2025 Crop & Livestock Report showed $550.3 million in gross agricultural production value, a 2.6% increase over the previous year.
These numbers reinforce something what growers already know: when agriculture thrives, entire communities benefit.
California growers face increasing pressures from rising input costs, water availability, regulations, and competition for agricultural land. Yet they continue to produce the high-quality crops that help feed our country and the world.
