  After 3 months of pruning the guava trees and we can see more guava in the trees. Normally Guava fruit will be ripe and ready for harvest about 90 and 150 days after flowering and pollination . Each branch in the tree has at least 3 or 4 guavas and they have matured and are ready for harvesting . These fruits  cannot be maintained on the tree longer in ripen stage . So, fruit picking should be done, as sooner as they attain maturity . There are several ways to harvest fruits. One can go for manual hand picking of fruits at an interval of few days. Fruit plucking machine is also available in the market to harvest fruits. Guavas depends on the plant age, soil fertility, soil type, frequency of irrigation, pest and disease control. Also Yield is always different from variety to variety. Yield will further increase after completing third and fourth prunin g as more lateral branch

  Maize requires very fertile , well drained loamy soils having pH range of 5.5 to 8.0 . The crop grows best on alluvial or red soils but can also by grown on well drained black soils . It does not thrive well on heavy soils, saline and alkali soils. After preparing a fine seed bed the crop must be sown in lines ( 20-30 cm apart) by using seed drill or maize planter or by kera on para method. Sowing time varies from place to place. Maize has bold seed size. It requires 50-60 kg seeds depending upon size . Seed should be sown in lines spaced at 30 cm . For summer sowing in irrigated areas, last week of February to last week of March-April is the appropriate time. Rainy season crop is sown with the beginning of rains in June-­July . Rabi crop is sown in October-November particularly in eastern and southern parts of the country. In hills sowing is taken up in May .

  Maize is an important kharif fodder crop which gives highly succulent and nutritional ly rich fodder. Maize grain is also an important feed component of dairy cattle and poultry feed . Maize is a rich source of starch , protein and edible oil. Maize produces good quality herbaceous fodder with high palatability . Hence by providing sufficient quantities of fodder instead of costly concentrates and feeds to the milch animals, the cost of milk production can considerably be reduced. Optimal growth conditions are 18-21°C average day-temperatures , annual rainfalls of more than 750 mm , and deep, well-drained rich soils. However, maize withstand s annual rainfalls ranging from 230 to 4100 mm , a pH between 4.3 and 8.7 , and a great variety of soils. Frost kills the plants. Drought is detrimental at flowering as it affects pollination and impairs yields. Maize has no tolerance to flooding .

How to plant guava trees : Guava can be propagated by seed, branch cutting, grafting and air layering. For commercial cultivation , it is best grafted onto a established root-stock. The guava seedlings grow very fast if proper care is taken Successful Guava cultivation is grown under tropical and sub-tropical climate . In areas with distinct winter season, the yield tends to increase and quality improves. High temperature at the time of fruit development can cause fruit  drop. Guavas can be planted at any time of the year, but the warmer months are better.  Plant them 2 to 3 metres from other trees and 5 metres from other guava trees. Dig a hole about twice the size of the bag in which the young tree  is growing. Remove the soil from the hole and add some compost and manure.
