Guava (payara)
a berry like fruit of any of various myrtaceous trees or shrubs of the genus Psidium, especially P. guajava (family Myrtaceae). It originated in
tropical America (Mexico to Peru), where it still occurs in the wild. Guava is
often called the "apple of the tropics". The plant was introduced by
the portuguese to the Indian subcontinent by the
early 17th century. Guava stands fifth in production among the most important
fruit crops of Bangladesh and can be grown all over the country. The annual
production is about 45,000 m tons in an area of about 10,000 ha. The districts
of Barisal, Pirojpur, Jhalokathi, and Chittagong are the main guava producing
areas. Some of the important varieties are known by the name of the places
where these are grown commercially. Thus Swarupkathi is from Barisal,
Mukundapuri from Brahmanbaria and Kanchannagar from Chittagong.
Kazi, introduced from Thailand, is the only standard variety
that has been released by the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute. It
produces fruits weighing up to 500 g or even more. All the other varieties have
fruit weights ranging from 100 to 200 g; can be propagated by seed, stem
cutting, budding, grafting and air layering. Mobile -01713479525
