Celgen® CISH-Shweta Guava Plant

Celgen® CISH-Shweta Guava Plant is an improved white-fleshed guava variety developed by the ICAR–Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture (CISH), Lucknow. It is recognized for its excellent fruit quality, high sweetness, rich Vitamin C content, good shelf life, and wide adaptability across India's guava-growing regions.

The fruits are globose, medium-sized, with an attractive creamy-white peel often developing a light pink to red blush under suitable growing conditions. The snow-white flesh is juicy, pleasantly sweet, and ideal for both fresh consumption and processing.

At Celgen Biotech, CISH-Shweta is propagated by grafting selected scion wood onto tissue culture-developed guava rootstocks. This advanced propagation system combines the true-to-type characteristics of the variety with vigorous root development, uniform plant growth, and excellent orchard establishment.
