Managing Pecans

Spraying

Timing Of Sprays Spray for scab and other diseases with fungicides regularly 100 gallons per acre water Airplane and Spraying at Night when needed Controlling Insects (Black Aphids, Yellow Aphids, Mites, Nut Casebearer, Stinkbug, Shuckworm, and Pecan Weevil) Always better to be protected before than after in Spraying

Scouting

Fertilizer Soil and Leaf Samples (Waters Lab) Split applications of broadcast fertilizer (Early April and Early August) Lime accordingly Liquid injections three times during the season Typically 20 units of 24% three times per acre

Haslem Soil Sample

Irrigation I prefer MicroJet over Omitters We have 20 irrigation wells (No more than two zones per well) All systems do between 3500 to 6000 gallons per acre per day Timing of Irrigation (Don’t water all you have early on) Typically start with 50% of maximum capacity CHECK YOUR IRRIGATION REGULARLY

Industry Changes (Hedging)

Earlier The Better

Benefits of Hedging More Trees Per Acre More Sunlight Hopefully More Pounds Per Acre Less Tree Breakage (Stronger Limbs) In My opinion easier to control pests and spray Strictly My Opinion Spacing's of newly planted orchards for hedging

Pushing of Young Trees Irrigation Herbicide Strips (Roundup to a minimum) Liquid Injections ( plus minors) Spray Regularly for micronutrients, pests, and diseases (corron, sulfur, nickel plus, soar, zinc, and borron) Pruning establishing a central leader Spread Fertilizer as well Apply Zinc by hand
