Psyllium
The temperature regime of 27-35 C is required for growth and development. It can tolerate both shade and frost . It is photosensitive and flowering occurs when it is sown in kharif season. Crop perform well where rainfall ranges 250-500 mm and under sandy soil. The statewise progress is given as under: Rajasthan Among the major growing districts the cumulative rainfall for past ten days was Ganganagar(37mm), Hanumangarh(40mm), Churu(32mm) , Bikaner(15mm) , Jaipur(38 mm), Sikar(35mm) , Jhunjhunu(35mm) , Jaiselmer(30mm) , Barmer(45mm) , Jodhpur(35mm) and Dausa( 54mm) and temperature ranges between 26-40 C . The weather conditions for the past ten days have been very much congenial for the sowing germination and establishment of the crop except for Bikaner where rainfall was very low. Gujarat The major guar producing districts received cumulative rainfall for ten days, Patan(59mm), Sabarkantha(53mm) , Mahesena(49mm) , Banaskantha(67mm) and Kachchh(106mm) which is very much congenial for the sowing germination and development of the crop. The temperature is also very much helpful. Haryana The widespread rainfall in the major growing districts Bhiwani, Mahendragarh, Rewari and Sirsa facilitated sowing and germination of the crop. However, the recent flood in the Ghaggar have damaged the sown crop. Resowing may be taken after the withdrawal of the flood.
