Image: Healthy vs Problematic Guava Leaves – Visual Comparison

The image is a high-resolution, landscape-oriented comparison photograph that visually contrasts healthy guava leaves with problematic guava leaves affected by common plant health issues. The composition is divided vertically into two equal sections by a clear white dividing line, making the comparison immediate and easy to understand. On the left side, labeled "Healthy Guava Leaves," the foliage appears lush, vibrant, and uniformly green. The leaves are broad and oval-shaped with smooth edges and a slightly glossy surface. Their veins are clearly defined and symmetrical, indicating strong vascular health. Several inset frames highlight specific positive characteristics, including a single healthy leaf with even coloration, a cluster of tender new growth emerging from the stem, and close-ups emphasizing strong, well-structured veins. A healthy green guava fruit hangs prominently among the leaves, reinforcing the idea of a thriving plant with balanced growth and good overall vitality. The background on this side is softly blurred greenery, keeping focus on the healthy foliage.

On the right side, labeled "Problematic Guava Leaves," the visual tone shifts noticeably. The leaves show multiple signs of stress and disease, with uneven coloration ranging from pale yellow to dark brown. Some leaves are mottled with black and brown spots, indicative of leaf spot diseases, while others display widespread yellowing that suggests nutrient deficiency or poor plant health. Additional inset frames draw attention to specific problems: one shows leaves dotted with irregular dark lesions, another highlights extensive yellowing, a third focuses on rust-like fungal infections with patchy discoloration, and a fourth depicts pest damage, including holes, chewed edges, and visible insect activity. The leaves on this side appear wilted, thinner, and more brittle compared to the healthy examples. A damaged guava fruit with darkened, diseased patches is also visible, reinforcing the impact of these issues on fruit quality. The overall contrast between the two halves clearly illustrates how healthy guava foliage should look versus common warning signs that indicate pests, disease, or nutrient problems, making the image both educational and visually informative.
