Implication

Field experiments show moderate pruning and open-centre training increase guava yield and quality, suggesting effective orchard management strategies.

Key Points

The aim is to determine how different pruning intensities and training systems affect guava productivity and fruit quality.
Conducted field experiments in Panjab and Haryana across two seasons
Compared light, moderate, and hard pruning intensities
Evaluated modified leader and bush training methods
Moderate pruning with open-centre training increased canopy aeration and fruit set
Hard pruning led to new shoot growth but smaller fruit size
Bush system resulted in higher crop load but reduced size
Maximum yield and fruit quality achieved with moderate pruning and open-centre system
