The goal of this study was to assess the influence of different organic fertilisers – vermicompost,
mulching, Azotobacter, phosphate solubilising microbes (PSM) and Trichoderma harzianum added each
year to mineral fertilisers containing NPK and to farmyard manure (FYM) on leaf nutrient status, tree
growth, fruit yield and quality of guava grown in low fertile soil. The results revealed that vermicompost,
bio-fertilisers and organic mulching resulted in yield and fruit quality boosters, as compared to application
of NPK and FYM as the only organic fertiliser. Significant differences in plant height, canopy spread and
stem girth of guava plants were obtained in combination, where Azotobacter, T. harzianum, PSM and organic mulching were applied. The leaf nutrient contents (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn) were within
sufficient ranges. Fruit yields and quality were highest in combination, where vermicompost, Azotobacter,
T. harzianum, PSM and organic mulching was applied. Fruit quality parameters viz. soluble solid concentration, titratable acidity, total sugars and ascorbic acid showed positive correlation with the available
macro- and micronutrients in the soil.
