In India Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Gujarat are the major producing stage. Punjab also contributes good production. The very famous guar gum used in mining, petroleum drilling & textile manufacturing, is obtained from the endosperm of the guar seed.

Economically Important Crop:
Guar is commercially cultivated for its seed which contains uniquely large endosperm. Guar gum is the main product of endosperm and contains galactomannan, which forms a viscous gel in cold water. Gum recovery is about 29% of seed weight. It is used in a number of industrial applications such as oil well drilling, paper, explosives, mining etc., Highly refined guar gum is used as a stiffener in foods like ice cream, a stabilizer for cheeses, instant puddings and whipped cream substitutes.  Churi and Korma are bi-products contain 35% of protein and can be used as feed.

A lot of rain can make the plant turn out to be more ‘verdant’ in this way diminishing the quantity of cases or the quantity of seeds per unit which influences the size and yield of seeds. The product is by and large sown after the rainstorm precipitation in the second 50% of July to early August and is reaped in late October early November. The Guar is a normally rain bolstered edit.
