Abstract

Due to the extensive tree canopy, the traditional method of cultivation has had difficulty achieving the intended levels of productivity. As a result, it became necessary to enhance the current manufacturing system in addition to impressing with its productivity. There is a current tendency for fruit trees to be planted more densely or in meadow orchards to control tree size, keep desired architecture, and make operations like pruning, pest control, and harvesting easier. The meadow orchard system is a novel idea for guava planting, providing densities of 5000 trees per hectare at a spacing of 1 m by 2 m. In contrast to conventional well-branched trees, this system is controlled to create a simpler and smaller structured framework starting in the first year. Guava trees are topped and hedged to encourage the development of fruit buds in the first year. Regular topping and pruning helped to reduce the size of the tree canopy. In the first year after sowing, trees produced flowers and fruit.
