This comprehensive book provides an in-depth and multidisciplinary understanding of Guava (Psidium guajava L.), one of the most economically important and nutritionally rich fruit crops of tropical and subtropical regions. Designed for students, researchers, horticulturists, growers, and extension professionals, the book serves as an authoritative reference that connects classical horticultural knowledge with modern scientific advancements. Beginning with the history, systematics, taxonomy, and morphological characteristics of guava, the book explores the crop from its evolutionary background to cutting-edge genetic insights. It offers detailed coverage of essential production components—including propagation, nursery management, rootstock utilization, planting density, nutrient and organic management, disease and pest control, and crop regulation practices. Special emphasis is placed on emerging technologies such as biochar application, biotechnological interventions, breeding prospects, and the development of improved varieties suited for diverse agro-climatic zones. A dedicated chapter on nutritional value and cancer-preventive properties of guava highlights its significance as a functional food with remarkable health benefits. The book also includes region-specific production technology from Jammu & Kashmir, post-harvest handling practices, and value-chain considerations to enhance farm profitability and fruit quality. With its blend of scientific rigor and practical insights, this book equips readers with the knowledge required for sustainable, high-yielding, and economically viable guava cultivation. It is an essential resource for modern horticulture education and field-level application.
