Evaluation of some morphological characteristics of six Guar masses in Sistan and Baluchestan Province of Iran

Guar is a cluster bean called Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L. (Leguminosae family). This is a one-year-old plant, bush and grows in a wide range of soils in dry, semi-arid weather. The pods of this plant are used in the early stages of growth as a vegetable. In addition to consumption as a vegetable, it is also used in the food, cosmetics, textile, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries. In the early stages, growth is used as a vegetable. To evaluate the morphological and physiological traits of different masses of this vegetable, seeds of six populations from different cities of Sistan and Baluchestan province were collected and cultivated at the Agricultural Research and NaturalResources Research Center. After 3 months of plant growth, the product is harvested and evaluated. Their various characteristics were evaluated as a vegetable. Based on the results, G2 and G5 masses had higher germination rates than other populations. The shortest germination time was observed in G4 mass. The highest pod size and also the highest fresh and dry weight of the pod were observed in the G5 mass. The smallest pods, but the highest number of pods were found in the G6 mass. The masses also showed a different growth in terms of plant size, so that the highest and shortest plant lengths were observed in the G4 and G1 populations, respectively
