Nova FLOW + Nova ELEVATE on Pecans
Chula, Georgia, USA 2023
Key Conclusions
- Foliar-applied Nova Elevate and Nova Flow at the parachute stage significantly increased pecan yield compared to the Grower Standard treatment.
- The single foliar treatment with Nova Elevate and Nova Flow resulted in an additional revenue over the Grower Standard.
- Despite the increase in yield, the percentage of #1 edible pecans and nut weight remained similar between the foliar treatment and the Grower Standard.
Objective
To assess the impact of foliar-applied Nova Elevate and Nova Flow on enhancing pecan yield in Georgia, exploring how these treatments influence growth and productivity at various stages of development.
