In my latest article for Spud Smart, I take a closer look at what I learned working with a frustrated potato grower in coastal South Africa—and how those same lessons apply to farms in Canada. By adjusting how Chloropicrin (known as Strike in Canada) was applied, we turned a struggling field into a success story.
That experience reminded me that soil fumigation isn’t just about putting product in the ground. It’s about understanding your treatment zone, applying with precision, maintaining good stewardship, and respecting the investment every step of the way.
Whether you’re growing in South Africa, Canada, the USA , or anywhere else, the principles are the same: when managed correctly, soil fumigation delivers healthier plants, reduced disease pressure, and stronger yields.
