Agro-K Corporation Introduces Sysstem-Pecan

By Growing Produce Staff|April 29, 2013

Agro-K Corporation introduces Sysstem-Pecan which combines zinc, nickel, and phosphite that pecan trees need for robust health and yield in a foliar application.

“When zinc and nickel are combined in one early-season foliar application, it’s kind of like a Vitamin B shot for pecan trees,” says Chapman Mayo, president of Agro-K Corporation. “The key benefit of the phosphite formulation is that it helps drive the zinc and nickel systemically throughout the tree while also aiding in overall tree health. Sysstem-Pecan is an excellent complement to a grower’s disease management program and can really benefit long-term health and consistent productivity of the trees.”

Sysstem-Pecan is a blend of zinc phosphite and nickel phosphite that is convenient and a compatible tank mix partner, Mayo says.

Zinc improves flowering, fruit size, leaf efficiency, nut yield, leaf expansion, and shoot elongation. USDA research notes that “Zinc deficiency is the most common and probably the most harmful micronutrient deficiency of commercial pecan enterprises.” Plant stress due to deficiencies in nickel is “a potential profit limiting problem,” says another USDA report.
