Three different concentration of borax viz., B0 (control), B1 (0.2%) and B2 (0.4) were sprayed on guava trees and various growth and yield parameters were recorded. The data pertaining to various parameters revealed that spray of borax @ 0.4% was found effective for number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit yield per tree, yield per hectare, polar diameter, radial diameter, pulp weight and spray of borax @ 0.2% was effective for length of tertiary shoots and diameter of shoots.
