Guava is a species adapted to tropical conditions, in South American countries it exhibits high yields and fruits of very good quality that can be demanded for fresh consumption.
▶ It should be taken into account that the raw material processing industries, among others, and destined for domestic consumption or for export, are the main interested in encouraging the agroindustrial production of guava crops.
Corroborating with the above, the achievement of high yielding and low susceptibility to pests and diseases will help to effectively increase the production of this item.
At the same time, it encourages growers to cultivate and provide high quality offerings to guarantee pathogen-free fruits that can be appropriate and safe for human consumption at the national and international level.
The genetic reservoir or germplasm bank in South America serves as a reference point for the molecular study of the plant, since the germplasm banks are located in high guava-producing regions.
It has favorable climatic conditions for different varieties of this crop, primary and secondary access roads, as well as other crops under study such as sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum), plantain (Musa paradisiaca) and sorghum (Sorghum vulgare).
