Development of Fruit Thinning Goals for Pecan
Abstract
The purpose of this study was the development of fruit thinning goals for pecan in order to improve annual producti on. Two experiments were performed. One experiment involved thinning fruit within a cluster, while in the other the percent of fruiting shoots was control led. An additional experiment to determine the best method for estimating pecan leaf area was necessary in order to develop leaf area-to-fruit ratios. This is the beginning of a five year experiment. Because of frequent flooding, the experiment wiII be moved to another location in 1987.
