Here is the article John Miller sent me confirming information on Pistachio blanks occurring at 20 to 30% state wide in California. http://westernfarmpress.com/ tree-nuts/rising-some-tough- challenges-california- pistachio-growers-wrap- successful-season As a reminder of our client in California that we just posted a blog story on his acreage producing an additional 600 pounds of nuts above and beyond his remaining acreage not treated with our protocol. His trees treated with our TerraPro protocol averaged less then 5%, actually 3 - 4.8% http://www.soilsecretsblog.com/2015/09/good-news-on-another-success-story-that.html
It's common to see nutrient and water inhibition compromise the production of pecans in the arid western states, particularly where the soils are high pH, which can tie up nutrients such as zinc, iron, phosphorus and more. Keeping soils moist is also a problem because the regions were we grow pecan are not wet bottomland soils where pecan is native, but are high and dry desert soils where irrigation is essential. If the irrigation water is high in dissolved solids, the problem is made worse. There are many good things Soil Secrets can offer pecan growers that can overcome these obstacles, by improving the moisture management of the soil, improving nutrient solutioning and availability of both the native minerals as well as the purchased minerals, and improving the porosity of the soil so that water and oxygen can penetrate meters deep without the need to subsoil with machinery. How's this done? By using the power of Nature's own bio-chemical called the Carbon Matrix. Starti
