Daily Water Requirement for Guava Plant
A mature guava plant typically needs about 8–12 liters of water per day, which adds up to approximately 240–360 liters per month and 2,880–4,320 liters per year.
Here’s a detailed breakdown based on growth stage, climate, and seasonal needs:
🌱 Daily Water Requirement
Young guava plants (1–2 years): 3–6 liters/day depending on soil and weather.
Mature guava trees (3+ years): 8–12 liters/day during active growth and fruiting.
Peak summer or fruiting season: May require up to 15 liters/day for optimal yield.
📅 Monthly Water Requirement
Average range: 240–360 liters/month per mature plant.
Seasonal variation:
Summer (hot/dry): Up to 450 liters/month.
Winter (cooler): As low as 180 liters/month.
📈 Annual Water Requirement
Estimated total: 2,880–4,320 liters/year per mature plant.
Influencing factors:
Rainfall and humidity
Soil type and drainage
Irrigation method (drip vs basin)
Fruit load and tree age.
💧 Irrigation Tips for Guava
Drip irrigation is ideal for conserving water and maintaining consistent moisture.
Guava trees prefer deep watering with good drainage to avoid root rot.
Reduce watering during dormancy or rainy periods.
Monitor soil moisture regularly—guava roots are sensitive to both drought and overwatering.
