Virginia Tech Professor Studies RBC’s Pecan Groves

Dr. Jon Eisenback, Professor of Nematology at Virginia Tech, paid a visit to RBC’s pecan groves to sample the trees for worms known as nematodes. Eisenback said he learned of RBC’s pecan groves, the largest and oldest in Virginia, from the Virginia Farm Bureau magazine feature and that the beautiful orchard “stimulated me to do some additional research.” He has taken the samples back to the lab for further analysis.
