 ABSTRACT

The effect of planting geometry and nutrition on growth and flowering of seed guar cultivars viz., HG 365 and HG 563 was analysed under Mahanandi conditions. The best quality heavier pods with greater length and width as well as more number of seeds with higher individual seed weight were produced from the variety HG 365 with  spacing 30 cm x 20 cm exhibited the highest quality of pod with bold size of both pod as well as seed and Among the nutritional combinations, the highest dose of NPK and S at 45N: 60P: 60K: 30S showed the best result with greatest size of pods and bold seed in huge numbers.

Key words: Guar, Seed weight, Bold seed, Nutritional combinations.
