Below is info from Dr. Lenny Wells, UGA Pecan Specialist related to efficiently managing pecan fertilizers while considering fertilizer price fluctuations.

“In short, most well managed orchards have adequate to high levels of P and Zn in both soil and leaf samples. As a matter of fact, this is quite common. When this is the case, an annual maintenance application won\u2019t move the needle on anything. The same may be true for K in some orchards, though to a lesser extent. Sandy soils will need K more often. For lime, if your pH is above 6.0 there is no reason to lime. See the table below to help you determine if, when, and how you truly need to apply P,K, Zn, and lime. Save your money where you can.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
