'Hybrid Red Supreme'–large, with thin, red, acid flesh; moderate amount of seeds; not suitable for canning. In fact, it’s also been linked to a long list of health benefits, including improved heart health, enhanced immune function, decreased blood sugar levels and more. Though it may warp on seasoning, it is much in demand in Malaya for handles; in India, it is valued for engravings. A famous guava, widely planted, but susceptible to wilt and branches are brittle and break readily. In Palestine, the trees are cut back to 6 1/2 ft (2 m) every other spring to facilitate harvesting without ladders. Experiments have shown that spraying young guava trees with 25% urea plus a wetting agent will bring them into production early and shorten the harvest period from the usual 15 weeks to 4 weeks. 0000002706 00000 n An average winter crop in northern India is about 450 fruits per tree. Botryodiplodia sp. Pestalotia psidii sometimes causes canker on green guavas in India and rots fruits in storage. Guava trees are frequently planted too close. Among acid, non-musky, thick-walled guavas, 'Beaumont', a Hawaiian selection, is large and pink-fleshed. One survived and was turned over to the Agricultural Research and Education Center, Homestead. There are other minor pests, but the great problems wherever the guava is grown are fruit flies. Using both, 87% success has been achieved. The tree is drought-tolerant but in dry regions lack of irrigation during the period of fruit development will cause the fruits to be deficient in size. For now, we’ll look at diseases caused by the three main pathogenic microbes: fungus, bacteria and virus. Severe losses are occasioned in India by birds and bats and some efforts are made to protect the crop by nets or noisemakers. 0000432954 00000 n 0000005440 00000 n Willim Whitman brought in a grafted plant from Java in 1954 which grew well, fruited and was the source of propagating material. This disease can cause considerable postharvest losses and can affect young developing flowers and fruit. 'Supreme'–small, ovoid, with pale-yellow, pink-tinged flesh; sweet; good for sherbet and paste; very productive. After the bud has "taken", 1/3 is cut from the top of the seedling; 2-3 weeks later, the rest of the top is cut off leaving only 3/4 to 1 1/4 in (2-3.2 cm) of stem above the bud. If plant disease is suspected, careful attention to plant appearance can give a good clue regarding the type of pathogen involved. Good drainage is recommended but guavas are seen growing spontaneously on land with a high water table–too wet for most other fruit trees. Okra, Abelmoschus esculentus, is an herbaceous annual plant in the family Malvaceae which is grown for its edible seed pods.Okra plants have small erect stems that can be bristly or hairless with heart-shaped leaves. In Egypt, a cultivar named 'Bassateen El Sabahia' has long been the standard commercial guava. Trials at Haryana Agricultural University, Hissar, India, showed that weekly spraying with 1.0% potassium sulfate–1.6 gals (6 liters) per tree–beginning 7 days after fruit set and ending just before harvesting at the pale-green stage, delays yellowing, retains firmness and flavor beyond normal storage life. Leaf and fruit spot diseases commonly occur on guava grown in Hawaii. The fruits tend to be malformed and the trees are scant bearers. Guava trees are seriously damaged by the citrus flat mite, Brevipa1pus californicus in Egypt. Guava seeds remain viable for many months. The guava is a prime host of the Mediterranean, Oriental, Mexican, and Caribbean fruit flies, and the melon fly–Ceratitis capitata, Dacus dorsalis, Anastrepha ludens, A. suspensa, and Dacus cucurbitae. Anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) may attack the fruits in the rainy season. Food Uses The fruit matures 90 to 150 days after flowering. Optimum distance between the trees should be at least 33 ft (10 m). Ripe fruits will be found infested with the larvae and totally unusable except as feed for cattle and swine. Wilt is the most important disease of guava. India finds it practical to dehydrate guavas during the seasonal glut for jelly-manufacture in the off-season. 0000004055 00000 n 6362' (a seedling of a 'Ruby' X' Supreme' cross in Florida). Describes the diseases of important vegetable crops and tells how to control them. They have been successully shipped from Miami to wholesalers in major northern cities in refrigerated trucks at temperatures of 45º to 55º F (7.22º-12.78º C). Food technologists in India found that bottled guava juice (strained from sliced guavas boiled 35 minutes), preserved with 700 ppm SO2, lost much ascorbic acid but little pectin when stored for 3 months without refrigeration, and it made perfectly set jelly. The strong odor of the fruit is attributed to carbonyl compounds. A wilt disease brought about by the wound parasite, Myxosporium psidii, causes the death of many guava trees, especially in summer, throughout Taiwan. Wrapping checks weight loss and preserves glossiness. Sprouting of the bud is expedited in the rainy season. The guava is a prime host of the Mediterranean, Oriental, Mexican, and Caribbean fruit flies, and the melon fly–Ceratitis capitata, Dacus dorsalis, Anastrepha ludens, A. suspensa, and Dacus cucurbitae. Infested fruits should be burned or otherwise destroyed. %PDF-1.5 %���� The latter is a small fruit and poor bearer.

In Colombia, the cultivars 'Puerto Rico', 'Rojo Africano', and 'Agrio', all yield over 2,200 fruits annually. 0000470459 00000 n 326 0 obj <> endobj xref 326 50 0000000016 00000 n For white or pale-yellow sherbet, 2 parts 'Supreme' and 4 parts 'Large White'. Post harvest handling includes sorting, washing, grading, packaging, storage and transportation. The larvae of the guava shoot borer penetrates the tender twigs, killing the shoots. Canned, frozen guava nectar is an important product in Hawaii and Puerto Rico but may be excessively gritty unless stone cells from the outer flesh and skin are reduced by use of a stone mill or removed by centrifuging. The bark contains tannin, crystals of calcium oxalate, ellagic acid and starch. 'Allahabad'–large, white-fleshed, with few, medium-sized, fairly hard seeds. Pretreatment with sulfuric acid, or boiling for 5 minutes, or soaking for 2 weeks, will hasten germination. 0000001794 00000 n Orchards may be rejuvenated by drastic pruning. Rows should always run north and south so that each tree receives the maximum sunlight. Indian breeders have crossed the guava with its dwarf, small-fruited relative, P. guineense Sw., with a view to reducing tree size and enhancing hardiness and yield. It is commonly said that guavas must be tree-ripened to attain prime quality, but the cost of protecting the crop from birds makes early picking necessary. 'Lucknow 42'–of medium size, roundish, with creamy-white, soft flesh; sweet, pleasant flavor; very few seeds; good quality; bears heavily; keeps fairly well; not suitable for canning. In South Africa, guavas are mixed with cornmeal and other ingredients to make breakfast-food flakes. De Villiers, E. A. Fruits for processing may be harvested by mechanical tree-shakers and plastic nets. 'Redland', the first named cultivar in Florida, was developed at the University of Florida Agricultural Research and Education Center, Homestead, and described in 1941. Fruits sprayed on the tree with gibberellic acid 20-35 days before normal ripening, were retarded nearly a week as compared with the untreated fruits. A swollen but unsprouted, dormant bud is taken as a 3/4 x 3/8 in (2 x l cm) patch from a leaf axil of previous season's growth and taped onto a space of the same size cut 6 to 8 in (15-20 cm) above the ground on a 1-year-old, pencil-thick seedling during the period April-June. Approach grafting yields 85 to 95% success. Wilt is a pernicious disease of guava in India. Algal spotting of leaves and fruits (caused by Cephaleuros virescens) occurs in some cultivars in humid southern Florida but can be controlled with copper fungicides. and also a source of charcoal. Sometimes aphids are prevalent, sucking the sap from the underside of the leaves of new shoots and excreting honeydew on which sooty mold develops. For this reason, budding and grafting are preferred. The guava fruit worm, Argyresthia eugeniella, invisibly infiltrates hard green fruits, and the citron plant bug, Theognis gonagia, the yellow beetle, Costalimaita ferruginea, and the fruit-sucking bug, Helopeltis antonii, feed on ripe fruits. 'Pink Indian'–of medium size, red-fleshed; agreeably acid; good for eating fresh and for processing. Glomerella graminicola [teleomorph] Glomerella tucumanensis Glomerella falcatum [anamorph] Aspergillus ear and kernel rot Aspergillus flavus: Banded leaf and sheath spot Rhizoctonia solani = … Exudates from the roots of guava trees tend to inhibit the growth of weeds over the root system. and Dothiorella sp. Clinical trials are lacking. Cutting results in regrowth with multiple stems. For pink sherbet, French researchers recommend 2 parts of the cultivar 'Acid Speer' and 6 parts 'Stone'. 0000431481 00000 n 20. On some trees, 80% of the mature green fruits may be ruined. India finds it practical to dehydrate guavas during the seasonal glut for jelly-manufacture in the off-season. The symptoms of the disease have been described in detail. At the Horticultural Experiment and Training Center, Basti, India, a system of patch budding has been demonstrated as commercially feasible. Guava juice, made by boiling sliced, unseeded guavas and straining, is much used in Hawaii in punch and ice cream sodas. 0000011432 00000 n The coconut mealybug, Pseudococcus nipae, has been a serious problem in Puerto Rico but has been effectively combatted by the introduction of its parasitic enemy, Pseudaphycus utilis. Formerly, round and pear-shaped guavas were considered separate species–P. 'Smooth Green'–of medium size, with thick white flesh, few, small, hard seeds. The most promising selection was tested and introduced into cultivation in 1975 under the name 'Bassateen Edfina'. Small, sour guavas predominate in the wild and are valued for processing. Since 1975, Brazil has been exporting large quantities of guava paste, concentrated guava pulp, and guava shells not only to the United States but to Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Japan. Well-illustrated and readable. There are innumerable recipes for utilizing guavas in pies, cakes, puddings, sauce, ice cream, jam, butter, marmalade, chutney, relish, catsup, and other products. 'Kothrud'–of medium size with medium thick, red flesh; moderate amount of seeds; not suitable for canning. Physalopara psidii Stevens &Pierce and Diplodia netalensis Evans. In 1947, Hawaii began sea shipment of frozen guava juice and puree in 5-gallon cans to processors on the mainland of the United States. Ascorbic acid–mainly in the skin, secondly in the firm flesh, and little in the central pulp–varies from 56 to 600 mg. In India, air-layering and inarching have been practiced for many years. 0000015672 00000 n 0000013812 00000 n Fruit rot. It bears well over a long season. Looking to the future, the book also addresses legislative, environmental and food safety concerns. On vegetables, it can affect any part of the plant. It is also a heavier bearer. 0000004680 00000 n The bark should slip easily to facilitate insertion of the bud, which is then tightly bound in place with a plastic strip and the rootstock is beheaded, leaving only 6 to 8 leaves above the bud. You may notice that young shoots die back dramatically with fruit and leaves still attached, or that fruit and leaves develop … Pestalotia psidii sometimes causes canker on green guavas in India and rots fruits in storage. The larvae of the guava shoot borer penetrates the tender twigs, killing the shoots. Guava trees respond to a complete fertilizer mix applied once a month during the first year and every other month the second year (except from mid-November to mid-January) at the rate of 8 oz (227 g) per tree initially with a gradual increase to 24 oz (680 g) by the end of the second year. Therefore, thinning is recommended and results in larger fruits. Soil-inhabiting white grubs require plowing-in of an approved and effective pesticide during field preparation in Puerto Rico. Anthracnose. In India, discoloration in canned guavas has been overcome by adding 0.06% citric acid and 0.125% ascorbic acid to the sirup. In Trinidad, softwood, treated cuttings have been rooted in 18 days in coconut fiber dust or sand in shaded bins sprayed 2 or 3 times daily to keep humidity above 90%. Bogotà absorbs 40% of the production and preserved products are exported to markets in Venezuela and Panama. Then a ring of bark is removed from each new shoot; root-inducing chemical is applied. Nutritional sprays providing copper and zinc are recommended thrice annually for the first 2 years and once a year thereafter. In The Cultivation of Litchis. With only 37 calories in one fruit and … Plantations were developed by Japanese farmers at Itaquera and this has become the leading guava-producing area in Brazil. Ten days later, the shoots are banked with soil to a height 4 to 5 in (10-12.5 cm) above the ring. In India, cockchafer beetles feed on the leaves at the end of the rainy season and their grubs, hatched in the soil, attack the roots. Sometimes aphids are prevalent, sucking the sap from the underside of the leaves of new shoots and excreting honeydew on which sooty mold develops. 'Supreme' X 'Ruby'–medium, sub-ovoid, white-fleshed; unremarkable except for high productivity. Of the sweet, pink-fleshed, thick-walled cultivars examined, 'Hong Kong Pink' was preferred. In India, discoloration in canned guavas has been overcome by adding 0.06% citric acid and 0.125% ascorbic acid to the sirup. 'Florida Seedling'–small, with thin, red, acid flesh; many seeds; not suitable for canning. 'Hart', fairly large, with pale-yellow flesh, and 8% sugar content. A false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis, causes surface russeting beginning when the fruits are half-grown. In South Africa, a baby-food manufacturer markets a guava-tapioca product, and a guava extract prepared from small and overripe fruits is used as an ascorbic-acid enrichment for soft drinks and various foods. In India, cockchafer beetles feed on the leaves at the end of the rainy season and their grubs, hatched in the soil, attack the roots. It has been reported in all guava-growing areas around the world where high rainfall and humidity are present. 'Red Indian', of strong odor, medium to large size, round but slightly flattened at the base and apex, yellow skin often with pink blush; with medium thick, red flesh of sweet flavor; numerous but small seeds; agreeable for eating fresh; fairly productive in fall and early winter. The red-banded thrips feed on leaves and the fruit surface. The paper deals with investigations on the stylar end rot of guava fruits. Wilt is also caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. psidii which invades the trunk and roots through tunnels bored by the larvae of Coelosterna beetles. Now it occurs throughout the Pacific islands. When specimens of the same lot of fruits are fully ripe and soft, it may decline to 50-100 mg. Canning or other heat processing destroys about 50% of the ascorbic acid. In 1975, a guava trial project was undertaken at the Maroochy Horticultural Research Station in southeastern Queensland, beginning with 5 strains from Hawaii. h�b```b``+a`c`baa@ �dž��9'��2���f� �T(R lm`�v�/�̌ �o�l����u�~��q�,�1 �8m�qO�65���ugL�~&N���k8Iæ}���~��s n��>�]u똍MC#:::�����Wt ��@L[� ӧ@B�AHx=��b{�Rea�@� {�Cv�F�� f1��L_"��0&0h8�811��`�d�?���p��Y�e���b��N�~70�y1��v`�dPg��a`bQ2`N�kr���A�?8D60�a�i`^�P����x�A��݀!�A���R��@��@�� $+ In India, flavor and quality of guavas has been somewhat improved by spraying the foliage with an aqueous solution of potassium sulfate weekly for 7 weeks after fruit set. Lower ratings were given four others of this group: 'Apple' (too musky and seedy); 'Allahabad Safeda' (too bumpy of surface); 'Burma' (too seedy) and 'Hong Kong White' (too seedy). 0000004566 00000 n They often germinate in 2 to 3 weeks but may take as long as 8 weeks. The bark is used in Central America for tanning hides. Or one can merely cut through roots in the ground 2 to 3 ft (0.6-0.9 m) away from the tree trunk; the cut ends will sprout and can be dug up and transplanted. Generally, there are 2 crops per year in southern Puerto Rico; the heaviest, with small fruits, in late summer and early fall; another, with larger fruits, in late winter and early spring. It is common throughout all warm areas of tropical America and in the West Indies (since 1526), the Bahamas, Bermuda and southern Florida where it was reportedly introduced in 1847 and was common over more than half the State by 1886. If trees bear too heavily, the branches may break. A decoction of the new shoots is taken as a febrifuge. In Brazil, choice, undamaged guavas are produced by covering the fruits with paper sacks when young (the size of an olive). A false spider mite, Brevipalpus phoenicis, causes surface russeting beginning when the fruits are half-grown. Lycopene, a naturally occurring red carotenoid pigment found in tomatoes, pink grapefruit, watermelon, papaya, guava, and other fruits, is associated with a decreased risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease1 and cancer. Fruits punctured by insects are subject to mucor rot (caused by the fungus, Mucor hiemalis) in Hawaii. In India, it flourishes up to an altitude of 3,280 ft (1,000 m); in Jamaica, up to 3,906 ft (1,200 m); in Costa Rica, to 4,590 ft (1,400 m); in Ecuador, to 7,540 ft (2,300 m).
