Guava Farming: Earn 5 Lakhs Per Acre by Intercropping with Mangoes

• Deoghar farmer Vakil Yadav earns 2-3 lakhs from guava intercropped with mangoes on 5 acres.
• Guava saplings from Uttar Pradesh, using grafting and ultra-high-density planting, yield fruit in 9-18 months.
• Guava bears fruit twice a year, offering more consistent income than mangoes.
• Regular pruning, irrigation, and fertilizer management are crucial for optimal guava yield (8-10 kg per plant).
• Guava sells for 20-200 rupees/kg; a 3-4 year old plant yields 7-10 kg, leading to 4-5 lakhs per acre income.
