Our Teleos President, John Godbehere, recently returned from a trip to Japan where he toured sweetpotato growing regions and learned about the Japanese culture from our Japanese Sales Manager, Masato Nozawa.

Nozawa-san shared how sweetpotatoes are such an important part of Japanese daily life, and the most important crop that TELONE™ protects in Japan. Like American sweetpotatoes, Japanese sweetpotatoes, (satsumaimo in Japanese), are highly susceptible to nematode damage, so it's vital growers prep the soil with TELONE™ ahead of planting.

John and our Japanese team had a great trip through the Ibakari and Chiba prefectures learning all about Japanese sweetpotato production and culture.
