Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during 2018-2019 to assess the effect time of shoot pruning with different combination on growth, flowering, yield and quality of the fruit in meadow orcharding in guava three years old plants under Allahabad agro-climatic condition cv. Allahabad Safeda. The study of one (year) indicates that half shoot (50%) pruning significantly influenced cropping pattern of guava viz. plant height (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 DAP), plant spread (N-S and E-W) (30, 60, 90, 120, 150 DAP), number of flowers per pant, fruit set (%), fruit drop (%), number of fruit per tree, fruit weight, fruit diameter, yield per plant, TSS, Acidity and yield in each rainy and winter season crops. Half shoot pruning in November results in lowered rainy season yield and more number of emergence of new shoots/plant, flower buds/ plant and increased fruit weight during winter season. The maximum yield was recorded in T6 (4.02kg.) per plant and the minimum yield was recorded in T0 (2.32 kg) per plant.
