Study assesses early spring and mid summer nitrogen applications

摘要

Adequate nitrogen (N) nutrition (Smith et al., 1985; Taylor, 1930; Worley, 1974, 1990) is among a cadre of management practices necessary to maintain profitable and productive pecan orchards. Nitrogen is applied in many orchards as either a single early spring application shortly before budbreak or two applications split between about budbreak and late canopy development (May or June).
