Studies on the Response of Pruning for Rejuvenation of Old Guava Orchard

Effect of Shoot Pruning on Growth and Yield of Guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. L-49 under Foothills of Arunachal Pradesh

“…This may be due to removal of apical dominance. Similar finding were reported by 2 Basu et al, (2007) who stated that the increase in severity of pruning encouraged early vegetative bud emergences. The result of the present finding is similar to the findings of 3 Bhagawati et al, (2015) where they stated that in severe pruning, more nutrients available to vegetative bud and also may be due to more light interception that induces early sprouting of vegetative buds.…”

Effects on Tree Vigor, Fruit Quality, Yield and Fruit Fly Infestation of Different Time of Pruning with Genotypes in Guava (Psidium guajava L.)

“…It might be ascribed as a faster growth of newly sprouted shoots of pruned trees due to the availability of stored carbohydrates to the plant. The results of present studies are confirmed with those of Basu et al, (2007) who also reported the significant increase in guava plant height after pruning as compared to control.…”

“…This might be due to a high growth rate of newly emerged shoots after the pruning which leads to increase in plant spread as compared to control. Basu et al, (2007) also reported a significant increase in guava plant spread after pruning as compared to control.…”

Effect of Pruning Intensities on Tree vigour, Flowering and Fruiting of Guava cv. Khaja under Alluvial zone of West Bengal

“…It might be due to more reserve food materials available to individual vegetative bud (Syamal and Rajput, 1989) and more light interception in trees headed back at 2m height resulting in early sprouting of vegetative bud as opined by Lakpathi et al, (2013). Similar findings were reported by Jadhav et al, (2002), Suleman Mohammad et al, (2006, Basu et al, (2007).…”
