“…Godage et al (2013) [3] also recorded the highest increase in the vegetative growth of the guava plants with similar treatments. The results are also in accordance with Meena et al (2014) [8] and Shukla et al (2014) [13] as they also recorded maximum increase in the vegetative growth of guava plants with the combined application of NPK, vermicompost and biofertilizers as compared to other treatments.…”

The research on the impact of integrated nutrient management practices on the cultivation and fruit quality of mrig-bahar guava crop (Psidium guajava L.) in high-density plantations was conducted in 2022-23 on 5year-old guava plants (cv. L-49) at the experimental farm of the Department of Fruit Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Neri, Hamirpur (HP). The study included five treatments that combined the use of vermicompost and inorganic fertilizers with biofertilizers. Throughout the study, it was observed that the vegetative growth parameters, flowering and fruiting parameters, yield, as well as the leaf and soil nutrient status, were significantly improved with the integrated nutrient management practices compared to the control. The greatest enhancements in plant height, tree spread, fruit set, fruit retention, and yield were achieved with the application of 80% RDF + 4 kg vermicompost + NBF consortium. The biochemical quality parameters such as TSS, pectin content, total sugars, reducing sugars, and non-reducing sugars showed significant improvements with the application of 60% RDF + 8 kg vermicompost + NBF consortium. The highest levels of soil nitrogen (281.00 kg ha -1 ), phosphorus (21.50 kg ha -1 ), and potassium content (258.88 kg ha -1 ) were obtained with the application of 80% RDF + 4 kg vermicompost + NBF consortium, while the total culturable count was highest in the rhizosphere of plants treated with 20% RDF + 15 kg vermicompost + NBF consortium.

“…This improvement in vegetative growth of guava trees may by attributed to the synergistic effect of organic matter compost which can improve the soil physical and chemical properties, increase water holding capacity, nutrient availability, soil organic matter content, cation exchange capacity and fertility, as well as EC and pH of the soil (Willer and Kilcher, 2011), feldspar which improve soil aggregation, structure, permeability and infiltration corresponding with the reduction of pH, EC, SAR and Na/Ca ratio which leads finally to create better soil conditions (Meena et al, 2013) and rock phosphate which slowly supplies plants which mono-and di-phosphate, the most absorbing forms by plants (Adak et al, 2014). In this concern, Manning (2010) mentioned that feldspar as a source of K + reduced the osmotic pressure and increased water uptake which due to K + influx in soil solution, consequently increased the availability of some macro and micronutrients, and this may indicate its role in promoting and enhancing the metabolic process and regulating water balance.…”

A set of field experiments was conducted in a private orchard at Qalyob district, Qalubia governorate, Egypt during 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons of 6-years-old uniform trees of guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Etmani grown on clay loam soil at 5 x 5 m apart and irrigated with the ordinary flood system to study the response of trees to organic compost at either full, ¾ or ½ the recommended dose (40, 30 and 20 kg/tree, respectively) + feldspar at either full, ¾, ½ or ¼ the recommended dose (1200, 900, 600 and 300 g/tree, respectively) + rock phosphate at either full, ¾, ½ or ¼ the recommended dose (1300, 975, 650 and 325 g/tree, respectively) + mixture of bisofertilizers (Nitropeine + phosphoreine + potasseine at 120, 25 g. and 134 cm./tree, respectively) in 12 combined treatments, besides the control.The obtained results indicated that all fertilization treatments used in this study caused a marked improvement in the means of shoot length, number of leaves/m, leaf area and number of flower buds/m with various significant differences as compared to means of control in the three seasons. A similar trend was also obtained regarding No. of fruits/m, fruit weight, length and diameter, fruit volume, yield and flesh thickness. The percent of TSS was increased in fruits of fertilized trees, while that of acidity was decreased in most cases of the three seasons. So, TSS/acidity ratio was often higher in fruits of treated trees than that in fruits of untreated ones. Moreover, vitamin C content in fruit flesh and fruit firmness were also increased. The leaf content of N, P, K, Ca and Mg was markedly improved as a result of applying fertilization combinations used in such investigation. However, the mastery in most previous parameters was for a combination of 100 % compost + 50 % feldspar + 50 % rock phosphate + bio-fertilizers mixture, which gave the best values in most cases of the three seasons. Accordingly, it can be recommended to fertilize the 6-years-old irrigated trees of guava cv. "Etmani" with the combination of 100 % compost + 50 % feldspar + 50 % rock phosphate plus mixture of biofertilizers to attain the highest growth, yield and fruit quality from commercial point of view.
