|-
| Seeding || 
* Seedbed: firm, weed-free
* Date: soil temperature > 21&nbsp;°C (optimum: 30&nbsp;°C); monsoon-regions: after first rain event in June or early July
* Rate: seed use: 10–30&nbsp;kg/ha, biomass use: 50–100&nbsp;kg/ha
* Row spacing: seed use: 45–60&nbsp;cm, biomass use: 30–45&nbsp;cm
|-
| Fertilizer || 
* Nitrogen: not necessary
* Phosphorus: often limiting, US: Superphosphate 200–250&nbsp;kg/ha
|-
| Plant Protection || 
* Weeding: young guar plant development is susceptible to weeds. Early, well prepared seedbeds help reduce weed harm
* Diseases: choose disease-resistant cultivars, 2 major diseases: ''Alternaria cucumerina var. cyamopsidis'' and ''Xanthomonoas cyamopsidis''
* Predators: ''Contarinia texana'' guar midge: rainfall or sprinkler irrigation reduce midge populations
|-
| Harvest||  seed pods: dry, brown, 60–90 days after sowing; biomass: first lower pods turn brown
|-
| Yield|| seeds: 5–8 dt/ha; biomass: 40–50 t/ha
