What makes soil healthy? How do soil structure, organic matter, biology and nutrient availability work together? What role do bacteria, fungi, protozoa and nematodes play beneath the crop?
These are questions growers face when evaluating field conditions and planning for the next crop.

In Episode 1 of the TriCal Group Soil Health Video Series, we take a practical look at the foundations of soil health and explain how the physical, chemical and biological parts of the soil work together to create the growing environment.
The video explores questions such as:
- How do sand, silt and clay affect soil performance?
- Why does soil structure matter for roots, water and air movement?
- How does organic matter support the soil system?
- What role does soil biology play?
- Why is protecting topsoil from erosion important?
- How can a better understanding of soil health help guide field management decisions?
This first episode provides the foundation for future discussions on soil microbiology, crop performance, pre-plant soil fumigation and other management practices that influence the soil environment.
Across the TriCal Group family of companies, we combine research, technical expertise and field experience to help potato growers better understand their fields and explore practical management approaches.
