Abstract :

An experiment was carried out in division of fruit science, University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot, were fifteen different rooting media were evaluated for their root, growth and survival of guava air layers in cv. Sardar was influenced by biochemical parameters during the year 2014–15. The total carbohydrate (4.91 % dry wt.), phenol (0.58 mg/g dry wt.), C: N ratio (7.05) and lower nitrogen (0.70 % dry wt.) was recorded in cocopeat which is on par with sphagnum moss.
