Beware of Late SeasonIssues Resulting fromInadequate Irrigation

摘要

We are nearing the end of the 2018 growing season but still havesome issues to be concerned with. The relatively large 'Stuart' crop brings to my mind some issues that we almost always see when 'Stuart' trees are heavily loaded, but they are also issues that growers tend to forget about until they show up. Combine the crop load with the large nut size we have from all the rain this summer and the recipe is there for shuck decline and vivipary to emerge as issues with this crop, especially if it stays warm and turns off dry in September or October.
