| Impact Report | Long term goals of alternate pecan bearing are being worked on. Emphasis on proper watering and nutrition techniques are being recommended to growers. Investigation of nutrient supply vs. bearing is underway. Preliminary research is indicating that nutrition and water play a major role in alternate bearing. While alternate bearing seems not to be preventable, the goal is to prevent a large crop followed by a small crop cycle. What we would like to see is more consistent bearing, and water/nutrition seems to be making the important factor here. |
