Gardening

Cluster beans, also known as guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), are a popular vegetable in India, especially in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. They are commonly called gawar in Hindi. Cluster beans are not only known for their tender pods but also for their seeds, which are used to make guar gum, a thickening agent used in food and industrial applications.

Cluster beans are low in calories, making them a good choice for weight-conscious individuals.

They are a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion and promoting gut health.

Cluster beans are a good source of vitamins C and K, folate, and minerals like calcium and iron.

Soil Preparation:

Cluster beans grow best in well-draining, sandy loam soil. They can tolerate poor soils but will thrive in nutrient-rich, organic soil.
The ideal pH for the soil should be between 6.0 and 7.0.

Planting:

Planting Depth: Sow the seeds about 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep.
Spacing: Space the seeds 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) apart in rows, with about 18 inches (45 cm) between the rows.

Temperature :

Cluster beans prefer warm climates and grow best in temperatures between 70°F to 95°F (21°C to 35°C).
They can be planted in late spring or early summer when the soil has warmed up.

Watering :

Water the seeds regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Once established, cluster beans are drought-tolerant and need less water, but during the germination stage, consistent moisture is important.

Sunlight :

Cluster beans require full sun to grow well. They should receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

Germination Time:

Cluster bean seeds typically germinate in 7-10 days under favorable conditions.

Thinning :

Once seedlings are about 2-3 inches tall, thin them to maintain 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) between plants, which allows them to grow properly and prevents overcrowding.

Harvesting :

Cluster beans are ready for harvest 45-60 days after planting. Harvest the young, tender pods for the best flavor and texture.
Older pods become tough and fibrous, so it's best to harvest them regularly to encourage new growth.

No of seeds per pkt : 30

Germination Rate: 70%
