Abstract: An experiment was carried out during kharif and rabi seasons of 2014 -15 at College of Horticulture, Udyangiri, Bagalkot to study the effect of time of pruning on growth and quality parameters of guava cv. Sardar under different planting densities. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with 6 main treatments as plant spacing and 2 sub treatments as time of pruning with three replications. The data revealed the maximum plant height (1.86m) was observed in closer spacing in M1 and minimum (1.59 m) in wider spacing M6 during rainy season and similar trend was recorded in winter season also. The maximum new shoot length (22cm), shoot girth (5.5mm), number of flowers/shoot (3.14) and fruits/shoot (3.06) was recorded in wider spacing and in quality parameters maximum TSS (9.91 ºB) and Vitamin C in pulp (100.58mg/100g ) and in peel (170.58mg/100g) was recorded in wider spacing while acidity was maximum (0.41%) in closer spacing during rainy season and similar trend was observed in winter season also. Among time of pruning and its interaction with spacing were not significant effect on growth and quality parameters.
