How to Spray Pecan Trees, Terminator Sprayer, Pecan Orchard Management

- In this video, we spend a day doing pecan orchard maintenance. The first thing we do is weed-eat a circle around the base of the trees. We then spray round-up around the base of the trees. We do this for a couple of reasons, first the tree does not have to compete for nutrients and water with the grass and weeds. it also allows the micro sprinklers to work effectively and distribute water evenly. Third, it allows for ease of harvesting when the nuts fall on the ground. After we bale hay in the orchard, we will then come back and actually make lanes like we've done in past years. This year we're running behind. From there, we will spray Zinc and Warhawk Insecticide using the Terminator Sprayer. The drone footage is from our DJI Mavic Mini.

THat's a neat little sprayer. My wife's cousin has one mounted on the back of a truck. Take care and have a blessed week Scott.
Thanks Tony, That sprayer sure makes it easy to work with.
nice job explaining why to spray
Appreciate it. As the trees get larger, it’s a big job.
Thanks for watching.
Those trees are looking good and round up where you have to, all of that herbicide does the same thing, but they always appear to target certain brands that sell well. You have had a busy time friend and it is almost Memorial Day July 4th around the corner too. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks DJ. Appreciate it. I’m really struggling to keep up. Swear the world is spinning faster.
Looking great out there, could cut hay too!
That’s the plan. Hopefully soon. So wet. Rain rain and more rain. Take it while you can.
This isnt hate, just a question. What about a few sheep or goats?
Good question. We prefer cattle. Thanks.
i use roundup all the time.....and it is safe if you know what you are doing
Amen brother. I’m amazed at the number of people that claim it’s evil.
Thank you!
Thank you!! Have a good week!
Hey, I enjoy watching your videos! I also have 150 pecan trees and a weekend warrior. If you don't mind me asking, what is your mix rate per gallon in your terminator sprayer tank for zinc and insecticide? I have a titan a1 sprayer and I am curious. Thanks
Hello, thanks for watching. I don’t know the mixture off the top of my head. However, we have bud break and will be spraying within the next week. We will have full video on spraying zinc with formulas and all. Thanks. More to follow.
Round-up, interesting! I understand the proper use issue. Is there an alternative product you can use? Man, that's a lot of pecan trees, awesome sprayer!
Thanks for watching, appreciate it. Yes there is other products that do not work as well. This is a industry practice with a lot of research to back it up. Hope you have a great week.
What is the best fertilizer to use on your pecan trees
Hello, They really crave Zinc. We spray that on the leaves at least 3-4 times per year. We also put out a general purpose fertilizer late winter. Such as 12-12-12 or 13-13-13. Thanks for watching.
1st see soil PH recommended.. Nitrogen and zinc...Nitrogen a lot more than zinc but yes they need zinc spray & soil applications
Hi again. I decided to go buy an A1 sprayer! I’m sick of the pecan pests and will win that war. I see u have the terminator. Know how that differs from the Scout model? I’m thinking about the Scout version. Also - did you buy yours locally or did you have to get it from the company in Nebraska? Trying to see if other sellers have it or if it’s only from the company directly. I’ll list you as a referral if I buy it since your info in the videos has been extremely helpful. They have a referral program
Hello, I’m not familiar with the scout model. We bought ours from local Kubota/implement dealer. But they ordered directly from the MFG and had it shipped to their store. I would order direct Please mention my name if you go that route. Thank you and good luck.
Can those sprayers typically be rented? I have 9 40 year old trees and don’t see it worth buying a sprayer. And will that spray really high? The trees are tall given their age.
Last, does the chemical you’re using treat for pecan weevils?
Thanks so much!
Enjoyed the video
Hello Sir. I agree not worth buying for small number of trees. We split ours with another orchard our size. If you have orchards in your area, you might be able to hire them to do it. Other option is to buy a really good wand sprayer that will shot 30’ and do it yourself. Just make sure the wind is blowing right. Haha
Have you ever used tree protectors? Are they necessary? Also thanks for the Terminator suggestion. I have been looking for a sprayer that doesn't sot a ton of cash.
Hello, yes we used tree protectors when the trees were smaller. We were told that once the bark gets rough, you don’t need them.
@@HeritageFarmsTexas OK good to know. I just started an orchard in AL. I'm learning a bunch, the expensive way. LOL but Your channel is very helpful. Glad you're doing it.
thats a nice tool, I need one of those...!!! How High will it spray??
Thanks for watching. Depending on the spray tips and the PTO speed, 50-60’. Depends a lot on wind also. Should cover my trees for a while
@@HeritageFarmsTexas ohhh man that is sweet I got some big pecans that are pain in the butt....Fixin to plant some more...this is interesting... we don't any bug issues with them so far, but they are down in the Hill country, got more of a Tree moss Issue. Figured bugs be issue up in East Texas
I guess that works on baby trees.
Thanks for watching.
Nice little orchard. What micro sprinklers are you using?
Thanks for watching. I just joined your channel. We use a micro sprinkler from Drip Irrigation. Out of CA. Sprays a 12’ diameter circle. What do you guys use?
@@HeritageFarmsTexas We use the SuperNet Pressure Compensating sprinkler from Drip Works.
How big of a circle does it spray?
@@HeritageFarmsTexas 8’ to 20’ diameter depending on the nozzle.
Interesting! We got the 100 gallon A1Mist sprayer and love it. Easy to operate. Sick of the web worms.
