Abstract: Experiment conducted to find out the effect of plant spacing and nutrients on growth and yield of eight years old guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Sardar in hasth bahar revealed that the plant height, stem girth, plant spread for North-South, plant spread for East-West, canopy volume, number of secondary branches and number of tertiary branches, number of flowers, fruit set and yield per plant were found significantly higher with the wider spacing of 6 m x 6 m. Whereas yield per hectare was significantly highest in the closer spacing (2 m x 1 m). Nutrition also had great influence on growth and yield of guava where application of 200:80:150 g NPK/ plant increased plant height, stem girth, plant spread north-south, plant spread east-west, canopy volume, number of secondary branches and number of tertiary branches, number of flowers, per cent fruit set, yield per plant and yield per hectare.
