Pecan Diseases and Pests and Their Control
Rosburg, David W.
Pecan -- Diseases and pests; Pecan -- Diseases and pests -- Control
For pecan spraying, a tank having a minimum capacity of 300 gallons is
desirable. The pump should deliver 20 to 30 gallons per minute and
maintain a pressure of 400 to 600 pounds per square inch while
operating. A spray gun which is adjustable to produce a mist spray for
spraying small trees or the lower canopy of large trees and a narrow
stream that will reach the tops of tall trees is essential.
For safety and durability high pressure rubber hose having an inside
diameter of three-fourths inch should be used with all high pressure
spray machines.

_Your County_ EXTENSION AGENTS
[Illustration: Extension agents]
can furnish you the latest information on farming, ranching and
homemaking. They represent both The Texas A. & M. College System and the
United States Department of Agriculture in your county.
Most county extension agents have their offices in the county courthouse
or agriculture building. They welcome your visits, calls or letters for
assistance.
This publication is one of many prepared by the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service to present up-to-date, authoritative information,
based on results of research. Extension publications are available from
your local agents or from the Agricultural Information Office, College
