Studies on planting systems in guava (Psidium guajava L.)
(G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2004-06) Mahajan, Anand R.; Shant Lal
The present investigation was carried out at Horticulture Research Centre, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (Udham Singh Nagar), Uttaranchal, to study the effect of various planting systems on growth, yield and quality of guava fruits. Maximum plant height was recorded in double hedgerow system with highest number of plants/ha. However, maximum values of tree spread, trunk diameter and tree volume were recorded in square system of planting with lowest number of plants/ha. Highest yield per tree was found in square system while highest yield/ha was obtained in double hedgerow system followed by cluster system. Maximum fruit weight and TSS was found in square system of planting. However, other quality parameters like ascorbic acid, acidity, pectin and sugar contents were found to be more or less similar in all planting systems
