A survey of fruit flies infesting Psidium fruits was conducted in western Venezuela from June 1992 through December 1995.
In the 1980's, cultivation of guava, Psidium guajava, in the northern region of Zulia State was expanded.
In general A. striata was the dominant fruit fly in Psidium species except P. caudatum in the western part of Venezuela.

Psidium cattleianum Sabine or strawberry guava (hence Psidium), a small tree introduced to Hawaii in 1825, is considered one of the state's most disruptive alien weeds.
Psidium is a major deterrent to sustainable management of Acacia koa forests, where extractive logging can stimulate dense regrowth of Psidium and impede koa regeneration.
Nonmarket effects from Psidium control are (direct) lower costs of biodiversity restoration in conservation areas and (indirect) reduction in feral pig populations.

 Clinic-GA
The spasmolytic effects of Psidium guajava leaf methanol, hexane and water extracts were demonstrated suggesting the existence of two different types of active components.
Obtained results suggest that the spasmolytic activity of the Psidium guajava leaf remedy is mainly due to the aglycone quercetin, present in the leaf and in the extract mainly in the form of five flavonols, and whose effect is produced when these products are hydrolyzed by gastrointestinal fluid.
The antidiarrheal properties of water and methanolic extracts of Psidium guajava leaves have been demonstrated with anteriority and their spasmolytic effect was attributed to quercetin, a flavonoid contained in this plant.

Cattley guava is a native fruit of Brazil, of the Myrtaceae family with interesting farming perspective, mainly due to its good fruit quality and exotic flavor.
This work aim to evaluate the effect of shading cattley guava stock plant (Psidium cattleyanum Sabine) on the propagation by cuttings.
Half the cuttings of stock plant growth during 60 days under shade cloth giving 0, 30, 50 or 70% shade, were treated with 200 ppm of indolbutric acid (IBA) for 16 hours; the other half, received no treatment of IBA.
