Abstract: Macro and micronutrient play a vital role in the growth and productivity of fruit trees. A well-nourished fruit tree not only produces good yield but also improves quality and remains for longer period in healthy and productive condition. Application of higher fertilizers resulted in more uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium from soil which ultimately led to better plant growth, yield and leaf nutrient status. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, being the essential major elements and required by plants in relatively large quantities for building their infrastructure. These are especially responsible for maximising physiological activities of the plant and for plant, water and soil relationships, which ultimately affect fruiting and quality but excess amount of application can result deteriorate fruit quality. Foliar spray of zinc sulphate, boric acid and manganese sulphate alone and there combinations showed positive impact mainly fruit yield and quality of guava. Similarly, these foliar application of micronutrients improved leaf nutrient status of guava.
