A long term experiment was conducted during 2016-17 to 2020-21 at Fruit Research Station Kuthulia Farm, College of agriculture Rewa under All India Coordinated Research Project on Fruits. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) comprising 5 varieties which were replicated four times with 5 promising variety of guava. The treatments were comprised, the results indicate that various treatment exhibited significant effect on canopy, yield and quality of the fruits. The maximum tree height Arka Mridula (3.37 m) was recorded followed by Shweta (2.91m) was noted the highest Canopy volume (m3) was recorded Arka Mridula (16.97 m3) followed by Lalit (15.83 m3). However minimum Canopy volume (m3) CISH G-1 (9.92 m3). The higher no. of fruit and weight of fruit were recorded Shweta (215.30 & 220.5g). Here it is mention that the results related to vegetative parameters and quality of fruits on the basis of only 1 year data. The hybrid Shweta recorded highest TSS(9.70°B). While lowest in Arka Mridula (8.79°B). However highest acidity % was recorded in Lalit(0.90%). The pooled yield data 5 years clearly indicated that fruit yield tree-1 and yield ha-1 (27.03 and 108.14 qt.) have been registered with the cv. Shweta. Followed by Arka Mridula (21.75 & 87.01q) were observed cv. Arka Mridula. The benefit cost ratio was also found higher with the treatment 1.94 (hectare basis) has been were recorded cv. Shweta
