Massive Jump in Pecan Harvest
WASHINGTON - Oct 10/03 - SNS -- The October 1 forecast for 2003 pecan utilized production is 282 million pounds (in-shell basis), up 63% from last year's crop but 17% below the 2001 crop year, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates.
The 2003 season is the high year of the alternate bearing cycle; however, frequent rain and cool, cloudy conditions throughout the summer produced widespread disease problems, particularly in the Southeast States. Fungicide applicators were frequently interrupted by showers. Scab and insect pressure were the two most common problems reported.
Improved varieties are expected to make up 210 million pounds or three quarters of the total, while the Native and seedling varieties, at 71.7 million pounds, make up the remaining crop.
