Guava fruit is known for its delicacy having Balance acid-base relationship, rich in minerals, salt, and vitamins. In other words, it is a poor man’s apple. Krishi Vigyan Kendra Sabour Bhagalpur has established a guava orchard of 1.75 5. hectares of select and selected Allahabad safeda variety for trial in training and pruning of guava and its management in other parts of the year during 2015-16,16-17&17 -18. As per recommendation, Guava, canopy management requires three training and pruning. In KVK trial we have gone through two training pruning one deep pruning in end of January & Feburary with fertiliser and insect disease management, and in September-October, light pruning with the recommended dose of fertiliser that is 100g urea + 75g DAP + 150g NOP + 2.5kg Compost+ 250 g Azospirrilium @ 30 days of interval has shown the best result average yield 12 kg fruits/plants from four-year-old plants in rainy season harvest. Planting distance was kept at 2m x 3m I.e. plant to plant distance 2. And Row to row distance 3m that accommodate 1667 plants in one hectare of land yields 200 quintal sold at 15/kg. Light training and pruning was followed with fertilizer application yields 4.5 kg fruits per plant. Total yield obtained was 75 quintal sold @ rs 70 /kg with successive flowering that gives extra yield to the farmers at high remuneration and disease free production.
