Effect of Nitrogen Fertigation on First-Year Pecan Seedling Growth

Conner, P. HortTechnology 17(4):491-495. 2007.

In this experiment, first-year pecan seedlings were fertigated with varying amounts of calcium nitrate in an attempt to stimulate growth rates. Pecan seedlings were fertigated every 2 weeks from May through October for a total of 10 applications. Total amounts of nitrogen (N) applied by fertigation were 0, 4, 10, 20, and 40 g of N per seedling.
