Description

This book covers "Effect of Shoot Pruning Severity and Spacing in High Density of Guava". Shoot pruning has become an eco-friendly alternative method for regulating the guava crop. It is free from all the demerits of existing methods. On the other hand, pruning may be helpful in reducing the tree size and improving the fruit quality. Shoot pruning in high-density orchards is a prerequisite to maintaining the desired canopy of this fast-growing guava plant. The need exists for some refinement in shoot pruning technique where flowering and fruit set can be regulated to attain winter season fruiting with superior quality and higher yield, especially for high-density plantations. For obtaining higher winter season crop and enhanced fruit quality under high-density plantation of guava, complete removal of non-fruiting shoots followed by one leaf pair shoot pruning of current season growth (i.e. retaining one leaf pair at the base of the newly emerged shoots) should be done during the first week of May. This method is environmentally friendly and completely organic because it has been performed without using any chemicals and pruned leaves act as mulch, thereby, saving water in summer months after degradation in the rainy season they are a rich source of manure.
