Fibre crops

(Parth D) Introduction: Good morning to one and all today

our group is going to brief you all about fibre crops.

(Parth T)What are fibre crops?

Fibre crops are field crops known for their fibre which are,
traditionally used to make paper, cloth or rope. Fiber crops
are called "fiber crops" because they are cultivated primarily
for the fibers they produce. These fibers are used in various
industries to make textiles, paper, and other products.
Examples of fiber crops include cotton, flax, hemp, and jute.

There are 2 fibre crops that are we going talk about today.
Cotton and Jute:

1) (Parth P) Cotton: Cotton is a soft, fluffy fibre that grows

in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of
cotton plants. It is one of the most important fiber crops
in the world, used in a variety of products from clothing
to home furnishings. It grows in dry tropical and sub-
tropical regions of the world. The major cultivators of
cotton are USA, India, China, Egypt, Pakistan And
Russia. India has the largest area in cotton production.
Recently India has surpassed China as the largest
producer of cotton in the world. In India about 70 percent
 of total cotton is produced in Maharashtra, Gujrat,
Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan.

What are the requirements for growing cotton: Tropical and

sub tropical climates are the best places to grow cotton. It
require a long period of sunshine and moderate rainfall
during the time of sowing.

(Parth D) Jute: Jute, often called the "golden fiber," is a fast-

growing natural plant fiber similar to bamboo. It's strong,
affordable, and eco-friendly. India and China are the world's
largest jute producers, with India's main producing region
being West Bengal. Jute is used for various products,
including sacks, bags, mats, ropes, and twine. Its rapid growth
and biodegradability make it environmentally friendly.

Requirements for growing jute: Jute cultivation is supported

by clayey loam or sandy loam soil. Excessive rainfall and
water logging is harmful for jute plants. Generally, March to
May is the sowing season for jute plants in India, but it also
depends on the rainfall and soil type of the specific region.
Depending on the time of sowing, the harvesting can be done
between June and September. Hot and humid climate with
temperature ranging from 24°C to 37°C is ideal for jute
plantation.
