Abstrakt: This article presents the findings of a field experiment conducted in the Eastern Himalayan region of India to determine the impact of pruning time and severity on the production of winter guava. The study found that mid-May pruning and moderate pruning (pruning 1/2 of the current season's shoot length) resulted in optimal fruiting, fruit size, and fruit quality. The study also examined the effects of different pruning times and intensities on guava trees, finding that pruning in mid-April and mid-May resulted in earlier flowering and that pruning severity had an impact on fruit set and size. The study concluded that moderate pruning in mid-May is the most effective method for producing winter guava with good yield and superior quality. Another study mentioned in the article found that pruning guava plants in October resulted in the highest crop yield during the rainy season, while pruning in May resulted in the highest yield during the winter season. The study also highlighted the significant impact of pruning time and severity on fruit quality parameters. Overall, the article emphasizes the importance of considering pruning time and severity for optimal growth, yield, and fruit quality in guava plants. [Extracted from the article]
