Last week was spray time again in the pecan orchard. This spray application included fungicide to help control “scab”, and insecticide to help control nut curculio, pecan shuckworm, second generation casebearer, and mites. The two inches of rain earlier of last week was much needed. We could really use two to three inches more within the next few days. The nuts are really beginning to be easier to spot on the pecan trees from the ground as you pass by. The next few weeks should really see the pecans jump in size. Only about 12 weeks left before pecan harvest. Lots to get done before then — this nut farm is a work house!!!! Be checking out you tube as I will be posting video of the pecan sprayer spraying the trees.
