Berries: Strawberries

Strawberry Fields

Fumigated
Not Fumigated

Soil fumigation has worked hand-in-hand with strawberry farmers for over 50 years to produce large, healthy yields of ripe, delicious strawberries.

Trident usually recommends fumigation for strawberry fields because the long, profitable growing seasons leave little time for the soil to recuperate between plantings. This means that the many different pathogens inhabit the soil for many, many generations of strawberry plants and they thrive without a thorough treatment that soil fumigation provides.

The result is stronger root development, improved crop quality, and increased marketable yield, along with greater input efficiency and reduced rotation pressure.
