OSU to offer pecan management courseOklahoma Individuals who have been growing pecans for a while or those who are interested in learning more about the industry will gain a lot of knowledge from the 2010 Fundamentals of Pecan Management course hosted by Oklahoma State University. The course will focus on the prioritization and practical application of major management practices according to the pecan growing season, said Eric Stafne, fruit and nut specialist for the OSU Cooperative Extension Service. The group will meet once a month beginning March 2 through Oct. 19, with the exception of June. The meetings will take place from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. "This meeting schedule coincides with the pecan growing season, so that is an extra benefit to those who are already growing pecans," Stafne said. The meetings will combine traditional classroom learning with hands-on experiences, as well as an optional web-based study component. The course will take place at the Cimarron Valley Research Station, located one-half mile north of the intersection of State Highways 33 and 177 near Perkins. Registration is $250 per person, and the registration deadline is Feb. 12. For more information, call Stephanie Larimer at 405-744-5404, or e-mail her at stephanie.larimer@okstate.edu. Participants may register online at orangehub.okstate.edu/ustores/web/index.jsp. Click on the Horticulture/Landscape store, and select Short Courses and Schools, then Fundamentals of Pecan Management.
