Inhaltsangabe

Despite being a fast-growing hardwood with favorable characteristics, guava timber remains underutilized. Through a series of standardized tests, the research evaluates guava's density, bending strength, compressive strength, tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity, and compares these properties with two commonly used hardwood species, eucalyptus and cypress. The results indicate that guava timber exhibits moderate mechanical strength, making it suitable for non-structural and light-load applications, though its bending strength, tensile strength, and compressive strength are lower than those of eucalyptus and cypress. Additionally, guava's natural resistance to pests and fungi enhances its suitability for outdoor use. The study concludes with recommendations for further exploration of guava timber’s economic viability and environmental sustainability, advocating for its integration into the timber industry as a renewable resource, particularly in applications where moderate strength and weight considerations are crucial.
