Why guava is suited for ultra high density planting?

In the conventional approach, the production of fruits starts from the second year, while in the HDP, the trees start bearing fruits earlier. The dwarf tree size in HDP makes the cultivation quite manageable. In HDP, the tree canopies are smaller, hence facilitates better air circulation and sunlight nurturing.

Which variety of guava is suitable for HDP?

Commercial and Improved Varieties Allahabad Safeda and Sardar (L-49) form the mainstay of Indian guava industry owing to their high yield, quality and wide market acceptability. Even Lalit, a variety suitable for both processing as well as table purpose, is also gaining popularity.

What is the density of guava?

The perceived density when the bottle of guava juice was wrapped with sandpaper was on average (M = 4.19, SD = 1.25) higher compared to the perception of density for the plastic bottle of guava juice (M = 3.27, SD = 1.12).

What are the disadvantages of high density planting?

High density orchards are also unforgiving in terms of lack of management. High density systems require more training and minimal pruning during the first 6 years than traditional systems, especially during the summer.

What is ultra high density planting?

Ultra-high density plantation (UHDP) is a new age technology that is increasingly being used for mango plantation across the globe. UHDP, in synergy with other sustainable agricultural techniques, can yield up to 200% more crop than the traditional method of cultivation.

What is meant by high density planting?

HDP is defined as planting at a density in excess of that which gives maximum crop yield at maturity if the individual tree grows to its full natural size. In other words, it is the planting of more number of plants than optimum through manipulation of tree size.

What is high density farming?

What are the advantages of high density planting?

Induces precocity, increases yield and improves fruit quality. Reduces labour cost resulting in low cost of production. Enables the mechanization of fruit crop production. Facilitates more efficient use of fertilizers, water, solar radiation, fungicides, weedicides and pesticides.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of high density planting?

1) HDP results in over crowding, over lapping not only in the tops, but also in the root system and heavy competition for space, nutrients and water. 2) More important is build up of high humidity, lack of cross ventilation in the orchard, which is more conducive for build up of pests and diseases.

What is high density Orcharding?

Hight Density Orchard. High density aims at increasing the productivity per unit area by increasing plant population/unit area by closer spacing. This has been successfully done in several temperate fruit crops like apple, pear, peach etc.

What is high density planting in fruit crops?

Karnataka J. Agric. Sci., 2 (1): 143-146….High Density and Meadow Orchard planting System in Fruit Crops.

Sr. No.	Crop	Varieties
1.	Mango	Vellaikolumban (Alphanso), Olour (Himsagar and Langra)
2.	Gauva	Pusa srijan, Psidium friedrichsthalianum, Aneuploid-82
3.	Citrus	Trifoliate orange, Sour orange, Citranges
4.	Apple	M4, M7, M9, M26, MM106, M27 (Ultra-dwarfing)

Why is plant density important?

Planting density modifies the photosynthetic rate and photosynthetic carbon assimilation capacity of different parts of leaves. This is so because planting density influences the nutritional status and light distribution characteristics of plants.
