Trifluralin (Treflan) is your foundational herbicide, but after that you can use clethodim products to control grasses, and Aim (carfentrazone) is labeled for hooded sprayer use.<\/li>\n<li>Insects and diseases are not an issue in Texas production as long as you avoid the rainy, humid areas of the state. Guar\u2019s adaptation is best west of a line from Wichita Falls, to Abilene to Uvalde.<\/li>\n<li>For Texas AgriLife recommends that guar be planted no later than July 1 for good production, but a little sooner is advantageous. Guar is also a fit, because of residual yellow herbicides, in a hailout\/replant situation after cotton. Afterwards, mid-season management needs in guar are few.<\/li>\n<li>At harvest time growers increasingly find that using a harvest aid (paraquat and sodium chlorate are labeled) helps dry the stems down to enable harvest several weeks sooner, especially if fall humidity is an issue. Custom harvesters that have an air real appear to have an advantage in harvesting the crop vs. a conventional platform or flex header.\u00a0 Dry guar pods may break off the stem (rather than split open like soybean), and the air reels help push any shattering pods into the header.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>AgriLife resources for guar are on the web at <a href=\"https:\/\/lubbock.tamu.edu\/programs\/crops\/other-field-crops\/guar\/\">https:\/\/lubbock.tamu.edu\/programs\/crops\/other-field-crops\/guar\/<\/a>\u00a0 Two primary production resources there are the 2017 update for Texas guar production (Trostle) and the old \u2018KEYS\u2019 document that describes historical guar production practices, primarily in the Rolling Plains.<\/p>\n<p>Currently Guar Resources (not to be confused with the former West Texas Guar) in Brownfield, Texas is the sole contractor for guar.\u00a0 Their new processing plant has been splitting and powdering for guar gum since last fall.\u00a0 Though field guar prices are low at $0.16\/lb. due to low crude oil prices, about 25,000 acres are under contract due to guar\u2019s crop rotation benefits and low cost of production.<\/p>\n<p>If you have grown guar in the past and were hit with heavy discounts due to black seed, two things have mitigated this concern in current production:\u00a0 A) Texas Tech research shows that the gum content of black seed (usually due to long delayed harvest) has essentially the same gum content as light-colored seed, and B) harvest aids can significantly reduce the development of black seed.\u00a0 Guar Resources does not discount until black seed exceeds 50% (though they still prefer lighter colored seed as it processes easier).\u00a0 Guar Resources\u2019 contact information is in the above 2017 crop information.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1113\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasrowcrops\/files\/2017\/06\/Fig.-1.-Guar-RCNL-June2017.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1113\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1113\" src=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasrowcrops\/files\/2017\/06\/Fig.-1.-Guar-RCNL-June2017-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasrowcrops\/files\/2017\/06\/Fig.-1.-Guar-RCNL-June2017-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/texasrowcrops\/files\/2017\/06\/Fig.-1.-Guar-RCNL-June2017.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fig. 1.
