Extraction of Endosperm - Influencing More
Cultivation

• But, now research people have targeted the
  inherent viscosity and emulsifying properties of
  cluster bran and extract the required material
  called endosperm from the seeds and process the
  same to make it suitable for bulk production.

5
Natural Factors Required for Guar Plant Growth

• Coming to the cultivating part, this plant can
  grow in dry as well as wet climate. Regions which
  received moderate rainfall are considered quiet
  suitable to confidently seek considerable growth.

• Guar gums requires the same kind of cultivation
  like that of cotton plant, wherein, it has to be
  planted 36 to 40 inch row with 10 to 20 inches of
  row spacing.

Cultivation Requisites to Meet Seed Demand

• When it comes to commercially irrigating,
  farmers have to look for sources which can help
  them to produce crop even in undesirable climate,
  choose the high yield variety in short duration,
  applying technically innovative mechanisms to
  help agricultural activities, find out sources to
  grow good and bulky seed varieties, etc.

Support of R D

• Due to the growing demand of this cluster bean,
  many manufacturers focus their attention of
  producing guar gum and other types of byproducts

Rules Followed by Farmers

• The rules followed by farmers differ in
  accordance with the available resources they can
  manage with.

• They need to keep up with early preparation of
  farming land and application of mechanical
  cultivation methods for sowing seeds.

• This would help them out to get more yields in
  moderate investment.

9
Percentage of Cultivation and Yield

• Percentage of irrigation depends on the import
  demand from different nations. It also largely
  depends on how industries apply this product
  after processing.

• Farmers need to provide raw materials as
  demanded by the industries. Therefore they also
  need to attend to the demand requests from
  different directions.

10
Growing for Commercial Purpose

• Commercial applications are increasing the
  demand day by day. As a result, many countries
  are now focusing about importing majority shares
  of seeds to be transformed into industrial grade
  and achieve higher productivity.

• The chart below illustrates the increase in
  export of guar gum from India.
