Top 10 priorities for pecan production

摘要

Pecan production is a complicated practice, involving many factors. It requires hard work, optimism, patience, an understanding of the pecan tree, a lot of money, and more than just a little luck. Still, as with most things, there are certain priorities in place that must be met in order to get pecan trees to cooperate in the production of consistent, good quality nuts. The pecan grower has to meet these priorities in a timely and cost-efficient manner in order to make a profit at growing pecans. I'msure everyone has their own top 10 list, but here is mine: Whether you are located in the Southeast or the West, I would not attempt to grow pecans without adequate irrigation. If my budget was so tight that I had to choose between supplying my trees with water or fertilizer, I would choose water. Irrigation is absolutely essential in the establishment of a new orchard.
