Description Not Available
Effect of pruning dates on fruit yield of guava was studied in a trial conducted on two guava cultivars i.e., Allahabad Safeda and
Sardar for five consecutive years. As compared to pruning in February and March, pruning from April through June, enhanced number
of shoots and flowering percentage. Shoot growth reduced in May and June pruned trees. Total yield during winter was increased
significantly (p < 0.05) in May and June pruned trees than the unpruned trees of both the varieties. Harvest in winter season was
significantly increased by May pruning. Pruning from February to March did not respond well for winter fruiting. Penetration of
photosynthetic photon flux was generally greater in canopies of pruned trees than in unpruned trees during May and June. In all the
years, the quantum of fruit yield harvestable during December and January increased significantly by May pruning.
