elsiddeeq,

Have you determined that the problem is definitely caused by pests? For example, could it be disease? I admit I am not an expert in produce cultivation.

Here is one resource I found which might be of assistance:

You can probably find a lot more information using your favorite internet search engine, experimenting with many different search terms and phrases.

I used to administer pests in the early 90's, but then I stopped trying to treat windows as a networked operating system, thinking of it only as a gaming platform, and things got a lot easier.

Maybe he should cut away the bad parts and make the rest into Guava Guice?

Sadly, my personal experience in this area extends only to stone fruit, citrus, ficus, rosaceae, and fruits of the nightshade family. That said, to my untrained eye, it looks like your guava trees are suffering from a fungal infection such as pestalotia psidii. If that's the case you will need to treat your trees with a fungicide such as Tiabendazole (TBZ). Alternatively, you can try neem oil if you want to stay organic.

If I were in your position, I would consult my local agricultural extension for a more informed opinion. A list of agricultural extensions in Nigeria can be found at http://www.worldwide-extension.org/africa/nigeria .

Good luck,

Josh

Josh, you got it all wrong, this is not an effective way to treat these symptoms. I recommend you read Omprakash kumar singh's elaborate article here http://www.scribd.com/doc/38578063/Pest-and-Disease-Management-in-Guava
