Pecans
Can I make money growing pecans in Mississippi?
Pecans can be grown throughout Mississippi with proper varieties on well drained fertile sites. Intense management, irrigation, proper insect and disease control, timely harvest, and proper marketing are all necessary to make pecan production profitable.
The first steps must be carefully taken considering: site selection, variety selection, planting, and pruning. Management factors and input cost must be adjusted to the potential yield. Potential yield is determined by considering: soil fertility, insect and disease control, and alternating bearing.
