Production and Cost Implications of a Multi-Pest Management Program for Pecans

Abstract

This study examines the impacts on pecan production that could result from adoption of a newly developed multi-pest management program for Southeastern pecans. The cost of the program is greater than the cost of conventional control of pecan pests. Analysis of yield data suggests, however, that employment of the multi-pest management program may increase pecan yield over that obtained using the conventional system of pesticide applications. The value of yield increases on experimental acreage was sufficiently high to offset the increased cost of pest control. Further research is required to examine the impacts of widespread adoption of the program.
