About this variety

HG 365 is an early-maturing guar variety developed by CCS Haryana Agricultural University (HAU), Hisar. Agronomy sources consistently describe it as a high-yielding, short-duration release, and it is specifically credited alongside HG 563 as one of the two Haryana varieties whose extensive adoption by farmers has supported higher state-level guar productivity тАФ a genuine, documented real-world impact rather than only a trial-station result. It is also described as carrying improved drought tolerance and disease resistance relative to older local guar lines, making it a reasonable default choice for the drier tracts of Haryana, Punjab and neighbouring Rajasthan where guar is grown.

Sowing & cultivation

  • Seed rate10тАУ12 kg/ha for its early-maturing, higher-density-suited habit
  • Spacing45 cm between rows, 20 cm between plants

Yield & maturity

Maturity period

Early maturing (exact day count not separately documented)

Expected yield

Documented as a high-yielding, short-duration Haryana guar variety; exact figure not separately quantified

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

Pest & disease considerations

Major diseases

  • Improved drought tolerance and disease resistance reported relative to older local lines

Advantages & considerations

Why farmers may choose it

  • Documented real-world impact тАФ HG 365, alongside HG 563, is specifically credited with lifting Haryana's overall guar productivity through widespread farmer adoption, not just trial-station performance.
  • Early maturity and reported improved drought tolerance suit it well to the erratic, limited-rainfall conditions across its Haryana-Punjab-Rajasthan growing belt.

Things to consider

  • Exact yield-per-hectare and duration-in-days figures were not independently quantified in available sources тАФ treat "early" and "high-yielding" as genuine, widely reported descriptors rather than precise numbers, and confirm local figures with your KVK.

Suitable regions

States this variety is recommended for тАФ check locally, since a state can have more than one recommended zone.

  • Haryana
  • Punjab
  • Rajasthan

Frequently asked questions

Has HG 365 actually made a difference to guar yields in Haryana?

Yes, genuinely тАФ agronomy sources specifically credit HG 365 alongside HG 563 with driving higher productivity in Haryana through widespread farmer adoption, which is a stronger, real-world signal than a single trial-station yield figure.
