  2. Crop Regulation of Guava by Bending of Shoots: • This practice is very much dependent on training of guava branches. On the basis of calculation of expected flowering, the branches of guava plants are bent down about 45-60 days before the expected date of flowering and to produce fruits in the off season. • First time bending of branches of guava plant should be employed at the age of 2nd year of plant. • Before bending, the leaves, small shoots, flowers & fruits from branch are removed or cut off, keeping 10-12 inch of terminal twig intact.

  3. Crop Regulation of Guava by Bending of Shoots- contd……. • During summer (April – June), the new shootlets emerged within 8 to 10 days of bending • During autumn (Sept. – Nov.), the new shootlets took 20-25 days to emerge • Bent branches should be untied when the new shootlets is about 1 cm in length • Flowering occurs in the new shootlets at 4-5 pair of leaf stage, after 45-50 days of summer bending & 60-65 days of autumn bending • Manures & fertilizers should be applied 15 days before bending of branches & again at pea stage of fruit growth followed by irrigation.
