About this variety

HG 2-20 is a guar variety developed by CCS Haryana Agricultural University (HAU), Hisar, and evaluated at the university's Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding alongside its better-documented siblings HG 365 and HG 563. It is sold as certified seed by Hisar-area seed dealers and is described in available agronomy summaries as having "superior plant architecture and growth habit" compared to older Haryana guar lines. Detailed figures for its exact duration, seed yield potential, gum content and disease-reaction profile could not be independently confirmed from a primary HAU release document in this research pass — it is a genuine, actively traded HAU release, but its specific documentation is thinner than that available for HG 365 or HG 563.

Yield & maturity

Maturity period

Not separately documented

Expected yield

Not separately quantified in available sources

Actual yield depends on sowing time, soil, irrigation, weather, seed quality and crop management.

Pest & disease considerations

  • Not separately documented

Advantages & considerations

Why farmers may choose it

  • A genuine, actively certified-seed-traded HAU Hisar release, giving Haryana and Punjab growers an alternative to the Rajasthan RGC-series lines.
  • Documented for improved plant architecture compared to older local guar lines.

Things to consider

  • Specific yield, duration and disease-resistance figures for HG 2-20 are thinly documented in publicly available sources compared to HG 365 and HG 563 — confirm current performance data with your local KVK or HAU seed centre before relying on it over a better-documented sibling variety.

Frequently asked questions

Is HG 2-20 a real, currently traded guar variety?

Yes — it is a genuine CCS HAU, Hisar release, sold as certified seed by dealers across the Hisar area alongside its better-known siblings HG 365 and HG 563, though its own detailed agronomic documentation is thinner than theirs.
