Macro and micronutrient play a vital role in the growth and productivity of fruit trees. A well-nourished fruit tree not only produces good yield but also improves quality and remains for longer period in healthy and productive condition. The literature pertaining to the problem entitled “Studies on application of macro and micronutrients in guava cv. Hisar Safeda” has been presented in this chapter.

dairy products are at a higher risk of contamination from harmful drugs and hormones. Furthermore, the hormones fed to cattle and sheep are unbreakable and enter human diet in their original form, which is hazardous to human health. However, organic meat and dairy products are free from any kind of drugs, and prove nutritious for humans. Another benefit of organic food is environmental preservation.
