fibres has been studied. The promising varieties which have been taken were C-718, C-2005, C-2193, C-2035 and OM-1 and experiment was carried out to know their moisture content (%),
cellulose content (%), hemicellulose content (%), lignin content (%), ash content (%) and fat content
(%) in three different parts of plant- top, middle and bottom. Moisture content was found highest
(12.6855%) in bottom part of C-2035 variety and lowest (8.24%) in top part of C-2005 variety. In
bottom part of C-718, cellulose content was found lowest (58.24%) and highest was found in the top
part of C-2035 variety. Hemicellulose was found highest (23.73%) in top part of OM-1 and lowest
(16.39%) in middle part of C-718. In case of lignin content, it was observed that 17.98% was found
in bottom part of C-718 which seem to be highest and lowest (13.61%) was found in top part of C-2193 variety. In the top and bottom part of C-2005, ash content was found lowest (0.112%) and
highest (0.995%) respectively. Fat content was highest (2.172%) in OM-1 variety and lowest
(1.099%) in C-2193.]]>Arangzeb, S. and A.C. Biswas,1964Corchorus capsularis.]]>165355Ali, M.A.,1986Corchorus capsularis).]]>1115Ahmed, Z., H. Banu, F. Akhter and K.
