Mexico: Walnut's health status remains in tact
Nut producers in the Yaqui Valley and in general in the whole of the Mexican state of Sonora, maintain their walnut orchards have an excellent health status, as they constantly perform practices to keep them this way.
As such, the Yaqui Valley is free from the Casebearer, a pest present in other areas of the country, although it still worries producers because they are still at risk of getting it said Enrique Orozco Parra.
The president of the Walnut System Product explained that they had already had meetings with walnut producers to make them aware of the situation and the importance of checking their pecan orchards, especially in these times when they are carrying out some pruning and applications to improve the trees' development so they have a very good spring.
The Casebearer is one of the major insect pests infesting pecans (Carya illinoiensis) and it is present in all of the walnut producing areas in Texas and southeastern New Mexico.
