Programs are extended through publications, demonstrations, mass media and classroom and field educational sessions. More than 3,000 Extension personnel, growers, farm managers, scouts, industry representatives and others are contacted annually. Georgia's Pecan Pest Management Program, initiated in 1976, was the first of its kind. It has been continuously updated and revised based on new information and much of the program has been adopted by pecan growing states throughout the country. McVay, J. R. and H C Ellis.
