The experiment was conducted during 2020–2021 at Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (U.P.). Experiment was conducted with pruning intensity i.e. control 0 Percent, 25 Percent, 50 percent, 75 percent & quality parameters were analyzed. The experiment was laid out Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) in total 48 selected plants with12 number of treatmentsin each replicated 4 times where each treatment consists of one plant. The results were found maximum in all the parameters viz., TSS (15.160 0BRIX), total sugar value (7.773%), reducing sugar (6.198%) non-reducing sugar (3.668%) and Vitamin C (278.708 mg) during first week of March with 75% of pruning intensity. The minimum values were found in control pruning (0%). In general, the pruning of guava trees in first week of March with 75% of pruning intensity level was found beneficial for enhancing fruit size and quality of guava.
