Thank you to the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission and NC State University for hosting another great annual Sweetpotato Field Day event.

Most importantly, thank you to the growers and industry professionals who took the time to attend, ask questions, share experiences, and learn from one another. Your dedication, knowledge, and willingness to work together help make North Carolina’s sweetpotato industry strong.

TriEst Ag Group was proud to be part of the program, with Director of Agronomy Josh Mays speaking about soil fumigation applications in sweetpotato production, their benefits, and their role in managing guava root-knot nematode pressure.

TriEst Ag Group specializes in soil fumigation, irrigation, crop nutrition, equipment, grafted plants, polytunnels, substrate, and associated growing systems for growers in the Mid-South, Georgia, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, and Northeast Regions.

Cold temperatures can threaten blueberry blooms, fruit, and yield potential. A properly designed frost protection system can help reduce cold damage by applying water at the right rate when temperatures drop.

TriEst Ag Group designs frost protection systems based on your crop, field layout, water supply, and operating conditions. Start planning before the next cold event.

Pre-plant soil fumigation with chloropicrin helps manage soilborne disease pressure, including pathogens associated with replant disease. It also supports conditions for healthy root development, strong establishment, and more uniform growth.

TriEst Ag Group works with blueberry growers to develop field-specific soil fumigation programs before planting.

TriEst Ag Group's approach is based on what is being grown, the region where the crop is being grown, the problem the grower is having, and how they want to optimize their farm for a better quality, higher-yielding crop harvest. TriEst Agriculture treats each customer as an individual, using soil test results, plant samples, and other data from our growers to make customized recommendations.

TriEst Ag Group is hiring an Inside Sales Representative in Clinton, NC.

This full-time role supports customers and branch operations through order entry, sales support, inventory coordination, and warehouse assistance. We are seeking an organized, detail-oriented team member with customer service, inside sales, or retail experience.

Tri-Hishtil brings together three pioneers in the agricultural industry from around the world; TriEst Ag Group, Inc. in the USA; Israel-based Hishtil, and Italian-owned and operated SIS/Centro SEIA.

Blueberry crops are especially vulnerable when cold weather hits during bloom and early fruit development.

Frost protection helps growers reduce the risk of crop loss, protect yield potential, and support fruit quality when temperatures drop. Planning and designing a system now, before it is needed, can help growers be better prepared for critical weather events.

TriEst Ag Group works with growers to design frost protection solutions that help protect their crop investment.

TriEst Ag Group specializes in soil fumigation, irrigation, crop nutrition, equipment, grafted plants, polytunnels, substrate, and associated growing systems for growers in the Mid-South, Georgia, Florida, Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, and Northeast Regions.

Soil health plays a critical role in root development, nutrient availability, water movement, and overall crop performance. From pre-plant soil fumigation to irrigation, plant nutrition, and field-specific support, TriEst Ag Group helps growers build stronger foundations for the season ahead.

Greenhouse growers need technology that supports precision, efficiency, and consistency.

TriEst Ag Group helps growers integrate ag technology for controlled environments, including irrigation, fertigation, climate control, automation, and data-driven system management. From simple controls to more advanced greenhouse solutions, our team works with growers to match the right technology to their crop, site, and goals.

In-season nutrient management is an important part of strawberry crop performance.

Metalosate® foliar nutrition uses amino acid chelated minerals designed for efficient uptake and movement within the plant. As part of a complete fertility program, foliar applications can help support crop-stage nutrient needs related to fruit development, quality, firmness, and shelf life.

Balchem's Metalosate Liquid Foliars Powered by Albion^© Technology use natural amino acids to chelate the minerals, they are rapidly absorbed, translocated, and metabolized by plants upon application.

Smart water management starts with a well-designed drip irrigation system.

Drip irrigation helps deliver water and nutrients directly to the root zone, supporting efficient water use, uniform crop growth, and improved nutrient management. With the right design, installation, and support, growers can make every drop count throughout the season.

TriEst Ag Group is proud to help growers plan irrigation solutions built around their fields, crops, and production goals.

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:

• Comprehensive plans and specifications.
• Design details.
• Irrigation scheduling recommendations.
• Material specifications and cost estimates.

Healthy pepper crops need the right nutrition at the right time.

Metalosate® foliar nutrition, powered by Albion® Technology, uses amino acid chelation to help minerals move efficiently into and throughout the plant. For pepper growers, that means targeted support during key growth stages, including vegetative growth, bloom, fruit set, and fruit development.

TriEst Ag Group is proud to offer Metalosate® solutions to help support plant health, crop quality, and strong pepper performance.

Balchem’s unique patented manufacturing process and formulations ensures your plants will get the most readily absorbable, highest quality nutrition available.

Soil prep is underway, and strawberry plants are coming soon.

Pre-plant chloropicrin soil fumigation helps growers prepare the field before planting by managing soilborne disease pressure and supporting healthy roots, stronger establishment, and improved crop performance potential.

This is an important step in setting the stage for a successful strawberry season. TriEst Ag Group is proud to support growers with soil fumigation solutions.

Chloropicrin is a Restricted Use Pesticide. Always read and follow label directions.

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.

Strong potato harvests start with a well-prepared field.
