pecan, (Carya illinoinensis), nut and tree of the walnut family (Juglandaceae) native to temperate North America. Rich and distinctive in flavour and texture, the pecan has one of the highest fat contents of any vegetable product and a caloric value close to that of butter. The pecan may be eaten raw, sweetened or salted. It is widely used in pastries, such as coffee cakes, and often in conjunction with chocolate. In the southeastern United States the pecan pie, consisting of pecans baked in a clear custard, and the pecan praline candy are traditional sweets.
Soil and climate:-
Soil:
Pecan tree can be grown on varied soil conditions ranging from the sandy loam to clay
loam and alluvial soil of river and small streams but they all have certain common
characteristics.
The soil should be deep, loose, well drained and well aerated to a great depth.
Soil that is deficient in any of these requisites may support young trees but fail when the
trees attain greater age and size with corresponding greater requirements..
Pecan can be grown satisfactory where pH ranges from 5 to 8.
Climate:-
The climate is probably the main constraint in the expansion of pecan cultivation.
It needs warm temperate climate meaning thereby that the extreme of both temperate and
sub-tropical climates are undesirable.
The pecan requires a long frost-free period from the time when growth starts in the spring
until the nut matures in the fall.
It is influenced by minimum temperature and number of chilling hours during winter.
An ideal climatic environment for pecan cultivation consists of growing season of 240-280
days, mean temperature above 26.70C, heat unit accumulation (base 100C) of 5000 degree
days for 7 months, nut growing period, mean temperature for three coldest month between
7.20C and 12.80C with at least 400 h of chilling.
High humidity affects adversely the growth, fruiting and regularity of bearing in plant by
preventing pollination, increasing the incidence of diseases on leaves and nuts
Rootstocks and Propagation
 Seedlings of various cultivars like Burkett, Nellis and western Schley are generally used
as rootstock for pecan nut as there is no clonal rootstock.
 The bitter pecan (C. aquatica) is adapted to poor drainage, flooding condition and low pH
but gives low yield.
 For raising the seedlings rootstocks, the seeds are stratified at 4oC for 70-90 days.
 Cold stratification of the nuts for 70 days followed by soaking in GA3 (500 ppm) for 48
hrs gives good germination and subsequent seedling growth.
After stratification, the nuts are sown in well prepared nursery beds at a spacing of 15 cm
from seed to seed and 20 cm apart in rows.
After sowing of seeds, the nursery beds are mulched with 10 cm dry grass and light
irrigation is given.
 As the seeds start germinating, mulch is removed and proper weeding, irrigation and
hoeing is done at regular intervals so that seedlings attain graftable and buddable size in a
year.
 Pecan is commercially propagated by budding and grafting onto seedling rootstocks
 The seedling rootstocks are budded with patch and annular method in July and tongue
grafted in Feb- March.
Planting:
 The best time of planting for pecan is dormant season, late winter or early spring just
before bud swelling..
 In flat land, the pecan nut is planted in square system at 10-12 m spacing.
 In sloppy lands contour and terrace layout of planting system are adopted.
 The plant spacing depends on the cultivar and fertility of the soil.
 The distance can be reduced to 8-10 m on soil with low fertility.
Training and Pruning:
 The training in pecan begins with the planting when 1/3 of the top is removed and
branches are allowed to emerge as high as 1-1.5 m from the ground level.
 The pecan trees are trained in central leader system and from the second year onwards the
subsequent branches should be spaced spirally at 30-35 cm from one above the other.
 As the pecan trees advance in age, they become larger and get crowded making pruning,
spraying and harvesting operations difficult.
 Pruning of pecan nut trees is, therefore, desirable but is often neglected.. Once the
framework is established very little pruning is done mature trees . Dried and broken and
over crowding branches are removed.
