ROW CROPS: Onions

Trident fumigant formulations are an optimal choice to create a healthy onion field for a healthy yield. The first 6 to 8 weeks are especially vital for developing root growth in onions. Injecting Trident fumigants into the soil before planting creates a zone of protection against disease and pest, buying time for the developing young plants to yield a healthy and vigorous onion root.

  • Protects Young Root Formation

"Trident is now a much larger company working with a diverse group of growers and crops. Trident offers a wide range of fumigant options from TELONE™ II by Teleos, Chloropicrin, Strike and Methyl Bromide. It is my goal to make appropriate recommendations for the success of each crop and grower."
