“…Similar results were also reported by Khattab et al (2011); the leaf nitrogen percentage of pomegranates increased with increasing irrigation water levels compared with drought stress conditions, and the available N in the soil (NO 3 − and NH 4 + ), nitrogen fixation, uptake, and nitrogen use efficiency were significantly reduced, leading to lower nitrogen accumulation in plants. These findings agree with the earlier studies of Panigrahi et al (2012) on Kinnow mandarins, Gupta, (2019) on litchi, and Preet et al (2021) on the response of guava to integrated nutrient and water management. Leaf N, P, and K contents also significantly differed when guava plants were mulched using silver-black, black, and organic mulch (rice straw) for two consecutive years.…”

“…Moreover, optimum moisture availability in silver-black mulch maintains proper turgor pressure, required for stomatal opening for gaseous exchange, which eventually led to a higher photosynthetic rate (Ayotamuno et al, 2007). The above findings are in agreement with the results of Singh et al (2020) and Preet et al (2021); the authors reported maximum canopy volumes with silverblack mulch as compared with no mulch in guava cv. VNR Bihi.…”

“…As guava is a hardy plant and can be grown in semi-arid and arid zones under water stress conditions, this might be a reason why plants irrigated with moderate water deficits (deficit irrigation at 75% ETc) performed better as compared with full irrigation. Similar results were reported by Kaushik et al (2013), Singh et al (2015), and Preet et al (2021) in guava.…”

“…The increased fruit lengths and diameters under moderate water deficit conditions might be due to balanced vegetative growth and maximum interception of light, as elucidated by Kumawat et al (2017) for guava. Similar findings for guava were also reported by Kaushik et al (2013) and Preet et al (2021). Likewise, different types of plant mulches also significantly influenced the fruit lengths and widths during both years of investigation.…”

“…Guava is known as the "Apple of the tropics" because it is the only tropical fruit which is as nutritionally beneficial as the apple (Khan et al, 2013;Nimisha et al, 2013;Takeda et al, 2022). Over the past two decades, guava land areas and their production have increased at a tremendous pace as the demand for fruits has increased due to their nutritional superiority and affordable prices (Preet et al, 2021). Guava land areas, production, and productivity have increased from 1.55 Mha, 17.15 MT, and 11.10 t/ha, respectively, in 2001 to 2.92 Mha, 43.61 MT, and 14.93 t/ha in 2019-20 (Indiastat-focused on facts).…”

Drip irrigation and mulching are often used to alleviate the problem of poor water management in many crops; however, these technologies have not yet been tested for applying water at critical stages of guava orchard growth in subtropical humid Tarai regions of India to improve the yield and quality. A field experiment was conducted over 2020 and 2021 which included three irrigation strategies: severe deficit irrigation (DI50), moderate deficit irrigation (DI75), and full irrigation (FI100), as well as four mulching methods: silver-black mulch (MSB), black mulch (MB), organic mulch (MOM), and a control without mulch (MWM). The results showed that both the relative leaf water content (RLWC) and the proline content exhibited an increasing trend with a decrease in the irrigation regime, resulting in a 123% increase in the proline content under DI50 conditions compared with FI100, while greater plant growth was recorded in fully irrigated plants and using silver-black mulch. Leaf nutrient analysis showed that FI100 and MOM produced significantly higher concentrations of all nutrients. However, moderate deficit irrigation (DI75) along with silver-black mulch (MSB) produced higher numbers of fruits per plant, higher average fruit weights, higher fruit yields, and maximum ascorbic acid contents. The irrigation water productivity (IWP) decreased with an increase in the irrigation regime; from severe water deficit to full irrigation, resulting in a 33.79% improvement in IWP under DI50 conditions as compared with FI100. Regression analysis outperforms principal component regression analysis for fruit yield prediction, with adjusted R2 = 89.80%, RMSE = 1.91, MAE = 1.52, and MAPE = 3.83. The most important traits affecting the fruit yield of guava, based on stepwise regression, were leaf proline, leaf Cu, fruit weight, and IWP.

In the current study, efforts were made to standardize fertigation for providing the recommended doses of fertilizers (RDF) i.e., 300, 260, and 200 g/plant/year for N, P, and K, respectively, together with optimization of irrigation scheduling so that guava plants could avoid the frequent episodes of nutritional stress, water scarcity, or overwatering. The experiment’s execution was confined to a three-factor randomized block design, with a total of 19 treatments that were replicated four times. Briefly, these treatments included drip irrigation and nutrient (NPK) application through fertigation dosages (RDF; 100, 80, and 60%) with and without silver-black plastic mulching. Different applied fertilizer dosages, together with different levels of irrigation and soil mulching, had a significant impact on the guava plant’s vegetative, reproductive, and nutritional aspects. Under silver-black plastic mulch, drip irrigation at cumulative pan evaporation (CPE) 80 and 100% of the prescribed dosage of fertilizers, better macronutrient availability in the soil, and improved plant development were recorded (M1DI2F1). Overall, using drip fertigation to provide NPK fertilizers close to the root zone increased the availability of nutrients to the plants as compared to the traditional fertigation and irrigation methods. Thus, this sustainable high-tech horticultural approach could be analyzed for its efficacy or applied to other crops to obtain adequate economic outcomes.
