The present investigation entitled “Fertigation studies in high density planting guava” was conducted during two consecutive years 2022-23 and 2023-24 at Farmers Field, Yeota, Tal and Dist. Akola, Maharashtra on four-year-old guava plants of cv. Sardar planted at a spacing of 4 m × 3 m. The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different fertigation levels on growth and yield parameters, and to find out the optimum fertigation level for high-density guava planting. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results indicated that, growth was significantly influenced by different fertigation levels. The maximum physical quality parameters viz., average fruit weight (231.05 g), fruit diameter (7.51 cm), average fruit volume (194.74 cc), average pulp weight (161.89 g) and pulp: seed ratio (25.28) was observed with the application of 197-117-236 kg ha^-1 NPK through fertigation. Similarly, reducing sugars (4.218%), non reducing sugars (4.164%) and total sugars (8.381%) was found with the application of 197-117-236 kg ha^-1 NPK through fertigation closely followed by 171-102-205 kg ha^-1 NPK through fertigation.
