Defoliation and Fruit Set in Guava1

Year: 1975

Type: article

Abstract: Flower buds of guava ( Psidium guajava L.) are invariably borne on newly emerging axillary or terminal vegetative growth. Any cultural manipulation that will induce the development of this growth will ultimately result in fruit set. Defoliation with urea brings about “instantaneous” flowering and subsequent fruit setting.
