Hendrix and Dail Centroamerica

What Hendrix and Dail Centroamerica does

Hendrix and Dail Centroamerica is the Latin American regional subsidiary of Triest AG, specializing in pre-plant agricultural soil disinfection and crop biostimulation. The company's core offering is a portfolio of chloropicrina- and 1,3-dichloropropeno-based fumigant formulations — including the Strike family, TriForm, TriPic, Tri-Pic Plus, TriPro, Tri-Clor 99.6GA, Tridi, Trilone, Telopic, and Bisolex — applied via gas injection into soil 2–3 weeks before planting to eliminate nematodes, fungi (including Fusarium), bacteria, and soil-borne insects. The complementary Raisan product line is a chitosan-based biostimulant derived from crustacean-shell chitin via deacetylation, designed to activate the plant's Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) and Hypersensitive Response (HR) defense systems; it is USDA and OKO organic certified.

The company serves primarily large agricultural exporters and corporate farms growing high-value specialty crops (potato, melon, strawberry, ornamentals, cucurbits, peanuts), as well as a secondary segment of small and medium farmers. Products are applied by Hendrix & Dail's own certified local technical teams in each of its 8 operating countries (Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Panama), with manufacturing and formulation facilities in the USA, Mexico, Chile, and Honduras enabling rapid regional supply. The company is also a certified distributor and formulator for Corteva Agriscience (formerly Dow AgroSciences), distributing Telone and Inline product lines in Latin America, and distributes Raisan through regional partners including Nexterra (Spain/EU), BAM Colombia Agroquimicos (Colombia), and RaiSan (Colombia).

The business operates on a quote-based, project-priced model: customers submit a "presupuesto" form specifying crop, disease, and hectares, and receive a customized quote that bundles product supply with on-site soil diagnostics, protocol design, and certified application labor. Marketing is content-driven through an educational blog (covering soil disinfection science, chitosan applications, and Fusarium management) and an organic Facebook presence. The entity is privately held under parent Triest AG, with no third-party investment, venture, or private equity involvement disclosed.

Core offering

Hendrix and Dail Centroamerica manufactures and applies soil disinfection products used prior to planting — primarily chloropicrina- and 1,3-dichloropropeno-based formulations — to control nematodes, soil-borne pathogens, and weeds on agricultural land. The portfolio includes country-registered variants in Costa Rica, Chile, and Peru, plus a chitosan-based biostimulant line (Raisan, Raisan Cobre) for complementary plant defense and residue-free positioning. Field application is delivered by the company's own certified technical teams, so customers purchase a turnkey hectare treatment rather than chemistry alone.

Product overview

Hendrix & Dail Centroamerica offers an integrated portfolio of agricultural soil treatment products centered on chloropicrina and dichloropropeno-based fumigants for soil disinfection, complemented by the chitosan-based biostimulant Raisan. The core product line includes the Strike family (Strike LC 124.40 GE, Strike 97.6 GE, Strike 96.1 GE, Strike 94 GE) for nematicide applications, TriForm and TriPic for broad-spectrum soil disinfection, and TriPro/Tri-Pic Plus for professional-grade treatments. The company also distributes Corteva brands Telone and Inline through certified partnerships. Raw material offerings include Cloropicrina Técnica, DD95 1.3 Dicloropropeno, and Óxido de Propipleno. The Raisan line provides organic biostimulation using chitosan, with Raisan Cobre adding copper fortification. Products are manufactured in company facilities across USA, Mexico, Chile, and Honduras, with formulations tailored to regional agricultural requirements.
