With an average annual harvest worth $65 million, Georgia
pecan growers are always looking for ways to improve their tasty
crop.
They can find them at the annual Georgia Pecan Growers Fall
Field Day Sept. 14 in Byron, Ga. Among other useful information,
the field day will provide updates on University of Georgia and
U.S. Department of Agriculture research.
The program features a tour of the Southeastern Fruit and Nut
Research Lab. Other sessions include demonstrations on pecan
diseases, limb pruning, zinc and nitrogen nutrition, canopy
management strategies and pecan pests.
It will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end with a 12:30 p.m. sponsored
lunch. For more information, call Tom Crocker at (912) 386-3410.
