 PROPOGATION AND ROOTSTOCK

• BOTH BY SEED AND VEGETATIVE METHOD

• GRAFTS OR LAYERS ARE PREFERRED FOR PLANTING ORCHADS
 VEGETATIVE PROPOGATION

• APPROACH GRAFTING/INARCHING
1. IN NORTH INDIA
2. RAINY SEASON/FEB-MARCH
3. LIMITED PLANT FROM MOTHER PLANT
 BUDDING

• LIMITED SCALE
• SUBTROPICAL PARTS
• PATCH BUDDING (MAINLY)
• FEB/MAY/AUGUST
 AIR LAYERING

• MOST SUCCESSFUL
• COMMERCIAL METHOD
• BEGINNING OF RAINY SEASON
 STOOLING/MOULD LAYERING

• ECONOMICAL METHOD
 WEDGE /CLEAFT GRAFTING

• NORTH INDIA
• FASTER MULTIPLICATION
 PLANTING

• DEPENDS ON VARIETY,SOIL FERTILITY AND IRRIGATION FACILITIES

• NORMAL PLANTING (6×6M) 277 PLANTS/HA
• ULTRA HIGH DENSITY PLANTING (2×2M) 5000 PLANTS/HA
 TRAINING AND PRUNING

• FOR AVOIDING OVERCROWDING AND INTERMINGLING

• HAND PICKING CAN BE PRACTICED
• IN TRAINING THE TOP PORTION CAN BE REMOVED AT HEIGHT OF 60-70CM
• ROOT SUCKERS AND WATER SPROUTS BRANCHES ARE REMOVED REGULARLY
 IRRIGATION

THE YOUNG GUAVA PLANTS REQUIRED IRRIGATION AT WEEKLY INTERVALS

DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND 2 TO 3 IRRIGATIONS DURING THE WINTER
MONTHS.
• TO THE FRUIT BEARING TREES, IRRIGATION SHOULD BE GIVEN FOR THE
FLOWERING AND FOR THE BETTER FRUIT SETTING AT AN INTERVAL OF 2 TO 3
WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS AND AT MONTHLY INTERVALS DURING
THE WINTER MONTHS.
 DISEASES AND PEST

WILT
THIS FUNGAL DISEASE WILT WAS KNOWN TO OCCUR IN UTTAR PRADESH, WEST
BENGAL, BIHAR, RAJASTHAN AND MADHYA PRADESH.
IT WAS CHARACTERIZED BY THE YELLOWING OF THE LEAVES FOLLOWED BY
• THE DRYING OF THE LEAVES AND TWIGS FROM THE TIP AND THE COMPLETE
WILTING OF THE TREES WITHIN 10 TO 15 DAYS. ► THE DISEASE OCCURED
MORE SEVERELY IN THE ALKALINE SOILS.
STEM CANKER
CRACKS AND LESIONS APPEAR ON STEMS.
TWIGS WILT DUE TO COLLAPSE OF STEM TISSUES.
• REMOVAL OF ALL AFFECTED PARTS AND PASTING WOUNDS
AND CUT ENDS WITH COPPER FUNGICIDES CAN CONTROL
THIS DISEASE.
ANTHRACNOSE
(GLOESPORIUM PSIDII, GLOMERELLA PSIDII) :
THE AFFECTED PLANTS SHOWED SIGNS OF DIE BACK FROM THE TIP OF
THE BRANCH.
CONTROL:
• SPRAYING THE TREES WITH COPPER OXYCHLORIDE, CUPROUS OXIDE OR
DIFOLATAN CONTROLS THE DISEASE
FRUIT FLY

DURING THE MONSOON, THE ADULT FLIES LAY EGGS ON THE SURFACE OF THE
FRUIT. ON HATCHING, THE MAGGOTS ENTERED INTO THE FRUITS AND IN MOST
CASES THE FRUITS DROPPED.
• SPRAYING OF MALATHION, DEMICRON, AND THE LIKE AND THE BURNING OF THE
INFECTED FRUITS MINIMIZED THE INCIDENCE.
MEALY BUG
MEALY BUG (FERRISIA VARIGATA, PLANOCOCCOS CITRI) :
THE TINY SMALL BUGS USUALLY SUCK SAP FROM TWIGS, LEAVES AND FLOWERS.
INFESTED FRUITS WILL HAVE UNEVEN SHAPES, POOR QUALITY, AND ARE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO SECONDARY INFECTIONS BY PATHOGENS.
CONTROL:
• SOIL APPLICATION OF THIMET AND BANDING THE TREE TRUNK WITH
POLYETHYLENE FILM WILL PREVENT THE NYMPH TO CLIMB UP FROM THE SOIL.
SPRAYING 400-ML NEEM OIL WITH 50-ML LIQUID SOAP IN 10 LITERS
BRONZING
THIS IS A COMPLEX NUTRITIONAL DISORDER DUE TO P,K AND ZN
DEFICIENCIES AND IS ASSOCIATED WITH SOIL, VARIETAL AND
NUTRITIONAL FACTORS.
INCIEDENCE BECOME MORE DURING RAINY SEASON AND MILD
DURING WINTER.
• ALLAHABAD SAFEDA IS FREE FROM THIS DISORDER.
