Abstract
Pecan trees subjected to different weed control and irrigation regimes from planting in 1986 through 1993 produced similar yields when irrigated (400 kg/ha, 3-yr avg) and not irrigated (320 kg/ha, 3-yr avg). Trees receiving total chemical weed control produced over five times more pecans (735 kg/ha, 3-yr avg) than weedy trees (131 kg/ha, 3-yr avg). Trees receiving disking produced more pecans when irrigated (677 kg/ha, 3-yr avg) than when not irrigated (339 kg/ha, 3-yr avg). Growth rate, expressed as increase in tree stem diameter, decreased for trees in all treatments once trees began bearing.
