“…Under heavy crop load conditions, it is obvious that there would be more competition for photoassimilates among developing fruits resulting in reduced fruit size and weight. The negative correlation observed in the present study, between fruit weight and number of fruits is in support with the findings of Patil et al (2017). Significant improvement in fruit yield by branch bending treatments (T1, T2, and T3) could be the result of intense flushing and profuse flowering observed under these treatments (Fig.…”

Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the comparative response of guava var. Arka Amulya to branch bending practice during winter and summer for controlling shoot vigour and improving flushing, yield, and quality of harvest under hot and humid climate of Odisha. Methodology: The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with five treatments consisting of branch bending during first week of January, February, May, June, and without branch bending as control. Each treatment was replicated four times and each replication unit had four plants. Observations were recorded on flushing, flowering, yield, and fruit quality parameters. Results: Branch bending technique was found effective for controlling the shoot vigour and enhancing flushing, flowering, and yield in guava, when practised during January, February, and May, however, effects were more pronounced when branch orientation was manipulated during winter months. January branch bending produced the shortest vegetative shoots (50.48 cm) and recorded the maximum value for flush count (28.91 shoots m-1 branch), flowering (57.91%), and fruit yield (38.46 kg per tree). Branch manipulation during winter resulted in higher yield gains (70.87-81.59%) over control (21.18 kg per tree) as compared to summer months (11.99-42.21%). All the treatments of branch bending caused a significant improvement in various fruit quality attributes, however, May and June treatments excelled in the performance. June bending produced the best quality fruit (TSS: 11.35ºB, Total sugar: 7.85%, Vitamin C: 197.39 mg 100 g-1 pulp, Total phenolic content: 117.29 mg GAE 100 g-1 FW, and total flavonoid: 52.74 mg QE 100 g-1 f. wt.), followed by May bending. Interpretation: In guava, canopy architecture manipulation through branch bending appears to hold immense potential for enhancing the quantum and quality of produce, if practised at suitable time. Practising this technique after May month would not give significant yield gain over the control plant.

“…There is an increasing trend during growth and development in shoot length, leaf area index, and fruit growth parameters like fruit length, fruit diameter and average fruit weight. At the time of harvest recorded maximum shoot length, fruit length, fruit diameter and average fruit weight result (Patil et al 2017) [22] .…”

and 2020. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized block design (Factorial) with three replications. The treatment combination comprise of 3 factors viz. 3 pruning time, 2 pruning intensity and 2 bagging levels. The physical properties of Lucknow-49 (Sardar Guava) variety of Guava fruits and its peduncle, stem and plant parameters were studied for the development of harvesting device for Guava fruit. Based on the experimental results it can be concluded that result obtained from the present investigation, among different pruning time, the 05 th June pruning was found most effective in improving physical parameters of Guava fruit. The vegetative bud growth, fruit setting, fruit growth and ripening process delayed with 60 per cent pruning intensity results in higher production of quality fruits. The bagging 20 days after fruit set was effective for improving physical characters of Guava fruits. Pruning of Guava trees in the first week of June with 60 per cent pruning intensity of annual shoot growth and bagging 20 days after fruit set can be recommended to obtain higher yield with quality fruit and maximum return.
