Nuts
Today we celebrate the hardworking growers who bring this iconic crop from orchard to table. Your dedication, innovation, and stewardship of the land are what make the pecan industry thrive. At the TriCal Group, we are proud to support the pecan growers with solutions that help protect yields, improve soil health, and strengthen long-term productivity.
National Pecan Day
We're nuts for National Pecan Day! Whether you call them pick-AHNs or pee-CANs, we can all agree that the best way to grow healthy pecan trees is to prep the soil with TELONE™ by Teleos soil fumigant before planting! Spring applications are currently ongoing in the southeast, and growers know that a good offense with TELONE™ is the best defense against nematodes. Pecan trees are susceptible to root-knot nematodes and soil-borne diseases, which can wreak havoc on developing roots. Using a blend of TELONE™ (to target nematodes) and chloropicrin (to combat soil-borne diseases) is an effective one-two punch for all of your pecan pre-plant needs. Treating with a TELONE™/chloropicrin blend ahead of planting creates a zone of protection that supports healthy root establishment and growth into healthy trees. Trials show that treating orchards ahead of replant helps improve tree diameter and canopy size, supporting increased yields and improved quality. Remember, there's no coming back from a poor start (especially when you're investing in an orchard that will be around for decades)! Strong orchards start belowground.
Happy National Pecan Day, April 14th.

The Importance of Irrigation in Pecan Production
Pecan trees have high water requirements, as much as 350 gallons per tree per day for mature trees. They have been shown to take most of the water they require from the upper 32 inches of the soil profile for normal seasonal growth. The deeper the trees have to reach for water the more energy they use.
Trical Almond Replant Research: The Importance of Fumigation for Growers
In California, nematodes can significantly impact crop production. They cause considerable damage to plant roots, disrupting the uptake of water and nutrients, resulting in reduced crop yield. For pre-treatment control soil fumigation is a vital management tool for growers.
