Pecan cultivars ripening in early October

Kanza, 7 Oct. 2017
    This week I found 7 more cultivars with split shucks. Many of these cultivars are scab resistant including; Kanza, Greenriver, Hark, Oswego, and USDA 64-4-2. It is so nice to find pecans with clean healthy shucks at the end of the season. In addition, our disease prevention spray program did a pretty good job on limiting the spread of scab on disease susceptible cultivars, Chetopa and Niblack.
