Cómo podar los cultivos de GUAYABA para optimizar su producción 🌿.

Pruning: This task is essential since production occurs on new shoots. There are several types of pruning: Formative pruning: This pruning is performed when the plant reaches a height of 0.3-0.5 m. It consists of making a cut in the terminal shoot to stimulate the production of lateral buds, which give rise to new shoots from which about three branches are selected. These branches should be pinched, leaving about 6 pairs of leaves. This process is carried out until the plant has 8 to 12 evenly distributed branches. It should be noted that guava flowers 2-3 months after transplanting. It is advisable to remove all flower buds until about 10 months after transplanting. This allows the plant to use all its energy for vegetative development. Sanitary pruning: This pruning consists of removing branches affected by pests or diseases, or those that are poorly positioned. Production pruning: This pruning should be done after harvesting. It involves removing all branches that have borne fruit, with the goal of stimulating new flower buds. Branch topping: Most guava flowers develop between the second and fourth nodes, so topping is intended to stimulate new buds, so that production is concentrated in the center of the guava tree.
