were able to keep up on irrigation should be fine, " he said.
Blair Krebs, Texas Pecan Growers Association executive director,
said the pecan crop suffered through the extreme heat and drought,
but producers with a decent crop should do well this season. Early
retail-quality Pawnee pecans were selling between $2.40 to $2.75
per pound in the shell, she said. Prices in recent years have been
between $2 to $3 per pound for in-shell pecans and around $4 for
shelled pecans.
Krebs said domestic demand for pecans was stronger this year, and
export demand from other countries, including Mexico, South Africa
and South American nations, has filled the gap the trade war with China
created for U.S. pecan growers.
Trees in commercial orchards have been relatively clean of pests
all year due to the dry conditions. But one pest - yellow aphids - are
making their presence known, Stein said.
The emergence of yellow aphids is later than usual this year, likely
due to extended drought, but their numbers appear to be heavier than
normal across the state, he said.
" They're cyclical and will go away, but seem to have come out of the
woodwork after the last few weeks of rain, " Stein said. " We typically
tell people to leave them alone because we think the damage to trees is
minimal and sprays can actually make things worse. "
