 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was investigated to determine the Guar adaptability in rainfed areas of Lakki Marwat Pakistan. Their most appropriate row spacing in guar crop was conducted at newly established Adaptive-cum-Demonstration Research Station (PARC) Matora, Lakki Marwat, Pakistan. Two guar genotypes including one cultivar BR-99 and one local land race (LLR) were tested under 20, 30 and 40 cm row spacing in a Split Plot Design with three repeats. BR-99 and local land race belong to single and multiple branching habit respectively. The crop was maintained under rainfed conditions. Results revealed that all the parameters (except pod length and number of seed per pod) were significantly affected due to genotypes, row spacing treatment and interaction between genotypes and row spacing. The highest grain yield of 1041.70 and 417.7 kg ha-1 was produced by BR-99 and LLR at 30 and 40 cm row spacing respectively, suggesting that single stick guar should be planted at 30 cm while multiple branches variety at 40 cm row under rainfed conditions.BR-99 performed best under rainfed condition as compared with local variety so it is concluded from the study that BR-99 is consider under rainfed condition for higher yield production of Guar crop in rainfed condition.
