Sustainable Pecan Production (Summary)
Sustainable Pecan Production (Summary)
In
Sustainable Pecan Production we briefly introduce essential knowledge
on the basics of pecan culture such as geography, native versus
plantation systems, and economics. This is followed by notes
on pecan farming techniques that emphasize sustainable and organic
production methods: non-chemical weed control; orchard floor
vegetation management using legumes; pecan nutrition with emphasis
on organic fertilizer options; and recommendations for organic
and least-toxic control of pecan insects and diseases. A selection
of pecan literature and Web resources available from the Extension
Service and horticultural industry are provided as further sources
of information.
