Red-Fleshed Guava Yield and Soil Nutrient Data from a 2023-2024 Field Trial in Thailand

Chanon Saengchan's dataset documents a two-season field trial (2023–2024) in Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand, evaluating integrated nutrient management for red-fleshed guava. The data includes measurements of plant growth, fruit yield, quality parameters, and pre- and post-harvest soil nutrient levels across six experimental treatments. Results show the integrated treatment significantly improved plant height, fruit weight, yield, and soil phosphorus and potassium levels.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between foliar nutrient levels and fruit yield based on reported Pearson correlations.
• Comparing the efficacy of different soil and foliar treatments on fruit quality metrics like firmness and °Brix.
• Analyzing the impact of integrated Bacillus subtilis, boron, and organic amendment on post-harvest soil nutrient status.

Strengths

• Data is from a controlled, two-season field trial using a randomized complete block design.
• Includes specific quantitative results for key metrics like fruit weight (270.26 ± 19.84 g) and yield (6.69 ± 0.54 kg/plant).
• Provides post-harvest soil analysis data, such as available phosphorus (16.5 mg/kg) and exchangeable potassium (111.5 mg/kg).

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 35.6 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a small number of observations.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to a single field trial in Thailand over two seasons.
