With the drought conditions that are prevalent across the state, I think the concern for many producers at this time is one of quality. In visiting with county Extension agents and visiting orchards during the last month the crop loads are good too heavy . However, the drought conditions have many producers concerned about kernel filling and other stress related problems such as stick tights and premature sprouting.
Drought conditions can also impact adult pecan weevil emergence.
There is a chance this year of seeing some late weevil infestations. I highly recommend that producers continue to monitor adult emergence through shuck split on all varieties. The Texas Pecan Growers Association has supported the Texas Pecan IPM Newsletter for the last couple of years I would like to thank and recognize the association and board members for their support.
