The present research was carried out to improve the rooting in guava with the application of Indole Butyric Acid (IBA) different concentrations and layering time at Horticulture farm Malakandair, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2016. Five levels of IBA concentrations i.e. control,...

The present investigation was carried out to characterize the guava (Psidium guajava) germplasm at morphological level and to identify the promising F₁ hybrid amongst 15 hybrids using morphological traits. Observations were recorded for different traits viz., leaf characters like length and width...

Guava (Psidium guajava L.), a major fruit crop of the sub-tropical region, is facing a production decline due to drought stress. Morphophysiological responses to drought stress and underlying transcriptional regulations in guava are, largely, unknown. This study evaluated the drought stress...

Guava is a fruit widely produced in Northeast Brazil, a region that has sources of water with high levels of salts, making it difficult for irrigated fruit production to expand. Thus, it is extremely important to search for techniques that allow the management of these waters in irrigated...

Drip irrigation and mulching are often used to alleviate the problem of poor water management in many crops; however, these technologies have not yet been tested for applying water at critical stages of guava orchard growth in subtropical humid Tarai regions of India to improve the yield and...

Vindhyan region, the place of experimentation is a hilly area that has some important limitations with respect to sole crop production system, include landscape being uneven, hilly acidic, less fertile, highly vulnerable to intensive tillage practices and poor income to the farmers. In view of...

Psidium involutisepalum, a new species of Myrtaceae, is described and illustrated. The species is easily recognized by the combination of floral buds with calyx minute, truncate or rounded, 0.2-0.5 × 0.5-1 mm, involute in fruit, facing the receptacle. The fruits are rounded to pyriform, 20-30 ×...

Salinity and water stress are serious environmental issues that reduced crop production worldwide. The current research was initiated (2012) in the wirehouse of the Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan to investigate the growth, stress...

Micropropagation was developed as a tool for the rapid propagation of elite plant material. Subsequently, the last half-century has seen a variety of regeneration systems being developed, with application in plant breeding and improvement programmes for a wide range of plant species. Unfortunately, ...

Guava fruit is a tropical fruit thus sensitive to the chilling injury. In this study the effects of melatonin (known to protect membrane integrity and to help to face abiotic and biotic stress) is evaluated for reduction of chilling injury during postharvest. Guava fruits were dipped into 10, 100...
