Abstract: The present investigation “Impact on effect of organic mulches on yield and quality of guava (Psidium guajava L.) under ultra high density planting system” was conducted at PFDC (Precision Farming Development Centre), Department of Fruit Science, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Raipur during the year 2022-2023. The results revealed that the significantly maximum yield character give better results in terms of fruit length (8.04 cm), fruit width (8.71 cm), fruit volume (198.00 cc), fruit weight (196.00 g), fruit yield (18.62 kg/plant) was observed under treatment T₅ (Rice husk) followed by T₁ (Paddy straw) and T₈ (Mushroom compost). Treatment T₅ significantly maximum quality parameter - total soluble solids (12.10°Brix), minimum titrable acidity (0.19%), ascorbic acid (196.63 mg/100 g), reducing sugar (4.91%), non- reducing sugar (5.12%), total sugar (10.03%) of fruits pulp followed by T₁ (Paddy straw) and T₈ (Mushroom compost).
