Irrigation for pecan workshop Aug. 27
The Noble Research Institute will host Understanding Irrigation Systems and Technology for Pecans from 9 a.m. to noon on Aug. 27 at the Noble Research Institute Kruse Auditorium, located on the main campus in Ardmore, OK.
Noble Research Institute pecan specialists and guest speakers will discuss different irrigation systems and technologies that producers can use to create schedules for their irrigation systems.
Producers who use irrigation or want to install irrigation systems in their pecan orchards are encouraged to attend.
There is no registration fee, but pre-registration is required. Registration will close on Aug. 20.

“As challenging as it may be, there is no room for guesswork when it comes to setting up irrigation systems. A good irrigation system helps provide water necessary for production, especially during times of drought,” explained Charles Rohla, Ph.D., Noble Research Institute pecan and specialty agriculture systems manager.
