| Impact Report | Pecan Production Program Chaves County produces approximately 4 million pounds of pecans annually on 4000 acres in the Pecos Valley. The county has both large and small producers, plus homeowners with only a few trees in their yard, so demand for researched-base information is high. The agent coordinated a program on “Pecan Production for Small Growers”, which was presented for the public by the NMSU Pecan Specialist at the Roswell Public Library. Topics included general tree care, fertilization, watering, pruning, insect control, and disease management. A total of 10 persons attended the training and gained knowledge that would enable them to better manage their pecan crops for production success. |
