Abstract The present study was conducted during 2019-20 and 2020-21 at Horticultural Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Modipuram, Meerut. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) on a 6-year-old guava orchard and the number of treatments was 4, each replicated 3 times. Each treatment consisted of one plant. A total 12 plants were selected for study spaced at a distance of 3×3 m. The obtained results showed that the number of flowers per plant, stem girth, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit length and fruit width were found significant. On the other side, number of primary branches and plant heightwere found to be non-significant. The results of present study indicate that on the basis of their vegetative behaviour, Dhawal appeared to be superior variety in terms of tree morphology and other as moderate. Further, it can be concluded that variety Shweta had more productivity and the fruits of Dhawal and Shweta were having more marketable fruit traits.
