Prediction of fibre quality from anatomical studies of jute stem: Part Ⅱ―Prediction of strength

摘要

The tenacity values of bundles of jute fibres belonging to different varieties have been predicted from the structure of their fibre bundles as seen in the transverse section of jute stems and the length of the constituent ultimate cells by multivariale regression analysis. Jute plant stems having fibre bundles comprising greater number of compactly arranged long and fine ultimate cells give fibres of higher strength when retted under standard conditions.
