Optimize Nut Set, Tree Health, and Year-Over-Year Yield in Pecan Orchards
Dial In Your Nutrition—Because Every Crop Cycle Counts
In pecan production, nutrient balance isn’t optional—it’s everything. From bud development to kernel fill, the right levels of nitrogen, zinc, boron, and potassium can mean the difference between a strong harvest and a disappointing season.
The Pecan Plant Tissue Test
provides a detailed analysis of leaf and petiole nutrient content, so you can make timely, precise fertility decisions
and avoid costly guesswork.
