2. Soil Nutrition Treatment (Based on Soil Balance)

Soil Testing Parameters:

  • pH
  • EC (Electrical Conductivity)
  • OC (Organic Carbon)
  • CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity)
  • Water Holding Capacity
  • Clay Content
  • Moisture Content
  • Dissolved Oxygen
  • Fe, Ca Levels
  • Microbial Load
  • Soil Type
  • Available Nutrients
  • Biological Tests

Generic Doses:

  • Enriched Calcium Sulphur Mineral = 4 tons per acre / 2 kg per plant (High-Density Plants)
  • Enriched Phosphorus Oxide = 600 kg per acre / 2 kg per plant
  • Enriched Iron oxide = 400 kg per acre / 1 kg per plant
  • Enriched Yellow Oxide = 200 kg per acre / 1 kg per plant
  • Zeolite = 100 kg per acre
  • Ionic Green (Volcanic) = 100 kg per acre
  • Govardhan Khanij Khad = 300 kg per acre per year / 2 kg per plant per year
  • Samudri Kharij = 200 kg per acre / 100 gm per plant
  • Surpal = 4 kg per acre per year
  • Super Soil = 2 kg per acre

3. Nutrition Management

Soil Application Before Flowering:

  • Nano Nitrogen 4x (500 ml)
  • OK-P 2x (500 ml)
  • Apply with Govardhan Khanij Khad

Sprays:

  • Nano NPK: 4 ml/litre water, 2 times before flowering
  • Nano Calcium + Nano Potash: One spray before flowering;  One spray after fruit setting (4 ml each)
  • Suhaja: 1 kg per acre; Mix with 200–300 litres water and spray on soil (not plants)
  • Zinc: 2 ml/litre water, 4 sprays per year (Nano particle form)
  • Iron: 2 ml/litre water every 2 months (prevents fruit fly and die-back)
  • Silver Ag + Copper: 2 ml Silver + 1 ml Copper, 4 sprays per year during fungal infection

4. Insect and Pest Management

Fruit Fly:

  • Cover fruits with polythene bags
  • Spray: Amrit Dhara (5 ml) + Bajrang Baan (1 ml) every 15 days
  • Use fruit fly traps
  • Perform Gandh Chikitsa (morning & evening)

Shoot Borer:

  • Spray M+ (50% fermented)
  • Spray Nano Bajrang Baan + Amrit Dhara

Mealy Bug:

  • Apply V+ and M+ in soil (June and October)
  • Spray Bajrang Baan + Amrit Dhara with Sajal

Guava Fruit Borer:

  • Spray M+ (50% fermented) when flowers become fruit
  • Spray Nano Bajrang Baan + Amrit Dhara

5. Disease ManagementWilt:

  • Avoid overwatering
  • Manage nutrition
  • Spray Silver AG (2 ml) + Copper (2 ml)
  • Apply Fafund Bhakshak in soil

Fruit Anthracnose & Die Back:

  • Spray Copper + Iron
  • Spray Fafund Bhakshak (20%)
  • Spray Silver Ag + Copper 

6. Monthly Maintenance & Additional Inputs

  • Annu Jal: Spray once per month
  • Carbon Fertilizer: Minimum 200 litres per month with irrigation
  • Urja Jal: Use every 2 months
  • Surpal: Apply 200 gm in every irrigation

Summary

  • Begin with a complete soil test for accurate soil balancing
  • Use recommended microbial and organic treatments for long-term soil health
  • Manage nutrition based on nano and compost-based products
  • Prevent and control insect pests and diseases using biological and nano sprays
  • Maintain plant health with regular micronutrient application and soil boosters
  • Ensure high yield and disease resistance through monthly and seasonal practices
