It is mainly grown in areas of India (Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat and Punjab), Pakistan, Sudan, and USA. India produces 6.0-7.5 lakh tons of guar annually. It contributes to around 80% share in the world’s total production. In India, Rajasthan and Haryana states contribute 85% of the total production. In Rajasthan, the districts where guar production is done are Churu, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer, Nagaur, Hanumangarh, Jodhpur, Ganganagar, Jaipur, Sirohi, Dausa, Jhunjhunu and Sikar. The districts in Haryana indulged in the production of guar are Bhiwani, Sirsa, Mahendragarh and Rewari and the districts in Gujarat are Kutch, Banaskantha, Mehsana, Sabarkantha and Ahmedabad. Jodhpur city in Rajasthan is one of the major processing centers of guar gum in India. Various exporters and manufacturers export guar splits, guar gum powder and its derivatives all over the world. India’s export of guar gum has witnessed a 45 per cent increase between the years 2000-01 and 2005-06. The country's export of guar gum was 186,718.4 MT during the year 2005-06. The net worth of the Indian exports is estimated around INR 10.5 Billion. The consumption of guar seeds is largely influenced by the demands from the petroleum industry of United States of America and China. Guar and Guar derivatives are quite useful in the petroleum drilling and fracturing industries. The major importing countries of guar gum and its derivatives are USA, Germany, Italy, China, Denmark, France, UK, Netherlands, Japan and South Africa
GUAR CULTIVATION IN RAJASTHAN
Guar means "cow food" in Hindi. For best growth, the guar bean requires full sunshine, flashing rainfalls that are moderately frequent, and well-drained soil. However, it is extremely drought-tolerant and thrives in semiarid regions. Too much precipitation can cause the plant to become more "leafy", thereby reducing the number of pods and/or the number of seeds per pod that affects the size and yield of seeds. The crop is sown after the first rains in July and harvested in late October. It is grown principally in northwestern India and Pakistan with smaller crops grown in the semiarid areas of the high plains of Texas in the USA, Australia and Africa. The most important growing area centres on Jodhpur in Rajasthan, India where demand for guar for fracking produced an agricultural boom as of 2012.
Currently, India is the main producers of clusterbean accounting 80% production of the total world, whereas Rajasthan occupies the largest area (82.1%) under guar clutivation in the country. In addition to its cultivation in India, the crop is also grown as cash crop in other parts of the world (Pathak et al 2010). India is the source of about 80% of the world production of guar gum. Several commercial growers have converted their crops to guar production to support the increasing demand for guar and other organic crops in the United States.
Guar seed is grown in the northwestern parts of country encompassing states of Rajasthan
(Churu, Nagaur, Banner, Sikar, Jodhpur, Ganganagar, Sirohi, Dausa, Bikaner, Hanumangarh
and Jhunjhunu), Gujarat (Kutch, Banaskantha, parts of Mehsana, Sabarkantha, Vadodara
and Ahmedabad), Harayana (Bhiwani, Gurgaon, Mahendragrh and Rewari) and Punjab
(Bhatinda, Ferozpur, Muktsar and Mansa).
Rajasthan is the largest growing state of Guar seed in the country accounting for 70% of
total production. The other producers are Gujarat, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and
Madhya Pradesh.
GUAR Production in rajasthan
Rajasthan Production of guarseed in Rajasthan, the main producing area is expected to be nearly 70 lakh bags this year. In Shri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh districts, total production of guar is expected to be nearly 23-25 lakh bags based on the latest sowing figures from traders. If rains occur there in the coming days, production may increase. In Bikaner, around 3 lakh bags production is expected. Though sowing has increased in Churu district, but in Nagaur, Pali and Sirohi, sowing level has fallen as farmers are taking interest in production of castor seed and Moong instead of guarseed in the wake of better price realizations of these products. Sowing is reportedly same in Jodhpur while sowing has increased in Barhmer and Jaisalmer. Moreover, reports indicate no change in sowing levels in Alwar, Bhartpur, Jaipur, Sikar, Ajmer, Chittorgarh and Udaipur districts. Though production is expected at ~70 lakh bags in Rajasthan, but sowing work started late owing to late arrival of monsoon. Again, more rains are needed in the growing areas. First spell of rains was satisfactory but another spell of rains is needed. If rains do not occur in next few days, colour of the crop would start to fade. News related to colour deterioration is already there from some places. If this turns out to be true, size of guar plant would reduced, which may cause the production to fall to ~50 lakh bags from the current estimates of 70 lakh bags.
guar cultivation in punjab
Even guar can be cultivated in any type of the cultivated land. It will give return even in poor nutrient soil/ low fertile soil.
Guar crop needs 10-12 tonnes of well decomposed farmyard manure, especially when it is being cultivated on poor sandy soils, or after taking an exhausting crop. This well decomposed manure is applied a month before sowing.
If some one want to go for the commercial cultivation of Guar , and want to take the good production. In that condition he can do the nutrient management by application of the fertilizers.
Nitrogenous fertilizers are applied only in small quantity (about 20 kg of nitrogen) because most of nitrogen to the crop comes from the atmosphere through bacterial action. Phosphatic fertilizers about 60 kg, potassic 20 kg per hectare along with 20 kg of nitrogen are applied as basal dose as the time of sowing, with the help of pora just 4 -5 cm below the seed. Spray the crop with 0.15% solution of sodium molybdate after 30 days of sowing after the seedling emergence increases the yield of both fodder and grain.

Guar is an important leguminous crop of arid and semi-arid regions. It is cultivated in northwestern states of India mainly Rajasthan, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. Rajasthan ranks first in the area of cultivation and production. India alone contributes more than 80% of global guar production. The by-product of gum extraction process is a preferred animal feed as it contains 40% protein.
Guar is also known to be cultivated in Texas, USA, some parts of South Africa, Malawi etc., but not in very large commercial quantities. In India the sowing season for guar is end of July and it is harvested during November (usually 90 days crop).
For effective guar cultivation, the crop needs two rainfalls before sowing, one rainfall when the crop buds out and another rainfall when the crop comes up well and blossoming starts. Then it requires plenty of sunshine and dry weather to come up really well. During harvesting period it again needs good sunshine in order to dry up and become usable for industries.
Guar has been traditionally an annual crop cultivated in those areas, which are dependent upon monsoon rains. However, due to higher prices of guar during the second half of nineties and early twenties, farmers have been encouraged to cultivate second crop of guar in irrigated farms, which is harvested during September. This additional crop has played a major role in checking unwanted hoarding and speculating in guar. Also, it suffices any shortfall in the main crop that is harvested during November.
Guar Gum is derived from the seeds of the guar plant ‘Cyamopsis tetragonalobus’ belongs to the family Leguminosae. Guar Gum Powder is a white to yellowish white powder. It is almost odourless and fine powder. Guar Gum is available in different mesh sizes and viscosity. The guar seed consists of three parts: the seed coat (14-17%), the endosperm (35-42%), and the germ (43-47%). It is from the endosperm that guar gum is derived, which is the primary marketable product of the plant. This spherical-shaped endosperm contains significant amounts of galactomannan gum (19 to 43% of the whole seed), which forms a viscous gel in cold water.

Guar is grown mainly in India, Pakistan, United States and also in some part of Africa and Australia.In old times, Guar was only used as rich protein to feed cattle. It is also used as green vegetable in India. After Second World War there was major shortage of locust bean gum which adversely affected the textile and paper industries. At that time Guar Gum was found as the most suitable substitute for scarce locust bean gum. In 1953 the extraction technology of guar gum was commercialized in USA and India after decade of period.We provide complete solution for the guar cultivation, guar gum production and guar gum supply.

Guar crop requires fertile, medium textured sandy soil types and a hot and dry climate to grow and prosper well. Also it needs a right and appropriate amount of rainfall, as it is a key factor for a high yield. This crop has earned so much popularity because it is one of the best kinds among a few crops that can be produced in the desert areas. It also has soil fixing characteristics that makes it fit well into a crop rotation cycle. It is a short duration crop and is harvested within 3 to 4 months of its plantation. The long deep taproot system enables the plant to grasp all the water in the soil making it an ultimate drought resistant crop.
