(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The effect of different irrigation treatments, various levels of N and K, and exogenous applications of gibberellins (GA), abscisic acid (ABA), XE-1019 (anti-GA), and fluridone (anti-ABA), on vivipary of pecans was studied. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The influence of growth hormones, container design, and grafting techniques on more rapid propagation of pecan cultivars on seedling rootstocks was studied. GA₃ at 5000 ppm significantly promoted stem enlargement of seedlings ...

(2014-04-17)The Hunter Lab color system and three visual rating scores (class 1 is the best) were used in this study to evaluate kernel color change and speckling, respectively, in ‘Pawnee’ pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The effects of antioxidants and modified atmospheres on the storage stability of the pecan kernel were studied. Samples which had been stored for one year at 35° to 40°F, were shelled. The sample halves were chopped into ...

(2015-11-09)Pecan [Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch] is an economically important nut tree native to Texas which is cultivated throughout much of the southern United States. Pecan trees are slow growing with a long period of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)A variety of handling techniques, media preparations and tissue sources were used in combination to establish pecan tissues in vitro. Plantlets were produced on a sequence of three media. The first medium enlarged the buds ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)The pecan, Carya illinoensis (Wang.) K. Koch, was subjected to a life table analysis in order to assess the impact of pests and pathogens in various sites and treatment regimes in Texas. Nut clusters were initially tagged ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Twenty-five year old Stuart pecan trees were drip irrigated during the 1976 and 1977 growing seasons. Treatments consisted if 132, 283 and 454 liters per day and a control which received no supplemental irrigation. The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Shuck disorders are a common production problem of Texas pecan producers. The shuck disorders observed in this study were not caused by stem end blight or shuck dieback. The principal shuck disorders studied were called ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Pecan leaf surfaces were characterized in relation to tree age, leaf age, and leaf surface. Three types of trichomes were found. Awn-like hairs were the most common trichome type on juvenile trees and reached their greatest ...
-
(2014-11-25)Pecan is an important nut crop in Texas and the United States. Increased demand for pecan exports has created an interest for new and current growers to plant new orchards. Nitrogen (N) application is an important step in ...
