| Impact Report | Orchard management practices provided through NMSU are one of the driving forces in pecan production for Dona Ana County. Attendee’s at the Pecan Conference, and Pecan Field Day learned of new cultivars, nickel nutrient deficiency, and orchard floor management, to mention a few topics. Through this information from NMSU, pecan farmers are learning; the symptoms of nickel deficiency and how to correct it, new cultivars for earlier harvesting that can lead to higher profits, and new whole floor mulchers to eliminate the need to burn pecan pruning’s. The agent is helping his clientele learn more about these systems through literature and on site consultations. |
