Members and guests - about 200 total - gathered Aug. 28 for the 2015 Arizona Pecan Growers Association annual meeting in Tucson.

They heard about a wide variety of topics including the recently confirmed pecan bacterial leaf scorch disease in Arizona pecan, an Arizona-specific water study to determine precise water needs in Arizona-grown commercial pecan orchards, and how China should continue to be a large market for U.S.-grown pecans.
