Comparative Microscopy of Ten Varieties of Mesta (Kenaf) in Relation to Yield and Quality

Abstract

Different varieties of mesta show their variabilities of the quantitative characterization of their microscope structure and quality. An attempt has been made to correlate some of the anatomical components with the performance of varieties towards yield and quality.

Keywords

Hibiscus cannabinus L. Kenaf materials. Fiber geometry fiber properties anatomic characteristics quality (fiber tenacity)microscopy. Variance analysis.
