Although large number of varieties of guava has been selected, only few
selections viz., Allahabad Safeda, Sardar, Pant Prabhat and Lalit are being exploited
commercially. A medium tall less seeded, colored variety with good keeping quality
and resistance to guava wilt disease is need of the day. Guava is being propagated
through budding, stooling and grafting. Wilt infected mother plants of guava are
playing major role in spreading the disease beyond leap and bounds. There is an
urgent need to produce disease free planting material in guava. Biotechnology can
help in solving some of the long-standing problems of guava cultivation. Research on
guava biotechnology is still in its infancy. This paper describes current status and
future need of biotechnological research for improvement of guava.
