Guava (Psidium guajava Linn.) commonly known for its food and nutritional values throughout the world. Guava is an economically feasible, hardy and commercial fruit crop of tropics. It is also known as the Apple of the tropics or the poor man's fruitis the fourth most widely grown fruit crop in India1. As the population of India increasing at a rapid rate and in order to meet demand for high quality guava, plant growth regulator plays a vital role. The pre-harvest spray of growth regulators and minerals are the new practices now-a-days adopted for higher fruit production and improved fruit quality2 and 3. Thus, the study will be done to investigate the impact of plant growth regulators on yield and quality attributes of guava in winter season. The use of plant growth regulators has assumed an integral part of modern fruit production to improve the quality and production of fruits, and it has resulted in outstanding achievements in yield and quality 4. This review describes the study of guava, its common names, various species and nutritional status. Firstly the study of guava have been described. Then a literature review concerning with advances in guava is presented in a year wise manner.
