Each cluster bean (gawar) plant typically yields about 100–150 pods, and with around 40,000–50,000 plants per acre, the total pod yield per acre can range from 4 to 5 tons of green pods.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of yield estimates:
🌿 Yield Per Plant
Pods per plant: 100–150 pods, depending on the variety and growing conditions.
Weight per plant: Approximately 100–150 grams of green pods.
Seed yield per plant: Around 10–15 grams if grown for guar gum or seed purposes.
🌾 Yield Per Acre
Green pod yield: 4 to 5 tons per acre (4000–5000 kg), assuming optimal conditions and good agronomic practices.
Seed yield: 500–600 kg per acre if harvested for guar seed rather than vegetable pods.
📈 Factors Influencing Yield
Variety: High-yielding types like PVG-16 produce more pods with better cooking quality.
Soil and climate: Sandy loam soils and semi-arid climates are ideal.
Irrigation: Timely watering during flowering and pod development boosts yield.
Fertilization: Balanced NPK and organic manure improve pod count and size.
Pest and disease control: Aphids and pod borers can significantly reduce yield if unmanaged.
