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.
