Experiment Title Feasibility of planting and pruning intensity of meadow orchard in guava cv. Lalit
Research Type Departmental Research
Experiment Background The meadow orchard or super- intensive system is one of the most efficient modern systems particularly in respect of its low demand of labour. The meadow orchard is a modern method of fruit cultivation involving planting of fruit trees density, using small or dwarf trees with modified canopy for better light interception and distribution and ease of field operations. Good light distribution within tree canopy increase the number of well illuminated leaves. This condition induces a high rate of canopy photosynthesis that leads to high yield per unit area. However, no attempt yet seems to have been made to develop the meadow orchard system for guava production despite its apparent advantages
