Project Related Publications 2010-2011:


Note on publications: There are two major publications specifically targeted to pecan growers, Pecan South (published monthly) and Georgia, The Pecan Grower Magazine (published quarterly). In each of these issues at least two to five members of the regional project provide timely articles on pecan production including pest management issues.
