Effect of Nitrogen and Zinc on Seedling Growth of Pecan Nut

Pecan nut is one of the most recently introduced fruit tree in Pakistan. It is an excellent alternative of walnut. As walnut required chilling temperature for its bearing. But its cultivation is impossible in low altitude area of the country. It can be grown in high as well as low altitude areas of our country. It will fetch higher prices in the market due to its unique taste and nutritious values. The trees may live and bear edible nuts for more than three hundred years. The major constraint in its spreading is stunted and restricted growth during seedling stage in the nurseries. An attempted has been made to furnish baseline information on the different concentration of nitrogen and zinc application to the Pecan nut seedling for bumper growth. The book in hand can be assets for the pomologists, planners and allied stalk holders.
