    INTRODUCTION

     Jute is a natural fibre popularly known as the “golden fibre”.

     Jute fibre comes from the stem of a herbaceous annual plant-

    “CORCHORUS”
     Jute is the second in the world’s production of textile fibres after cotton.
     India, China and Bangladesh are leading producers of jute.
     Jute is almost entirely a market oriented crop.
     Bangladesh is the largest cultivator of raw jute.
    JUTE

    Synonym :- Gunny

    Biological Source:- It consists of phloem fibres from the stem of


    various species of the Corchorus; C.capsularis,
    C.olitorius and other species like
    C.cunninghamii, C.junodi, etc., belonging to

    Family :- Tiliaceae.
    Biological source:

     Strands of phloem fibres of the stem bark of Corchorus olitorius Linn.


    and Corchorus capsularis Linn. (Family Tiliaceae) constitute Jute.

    Geographical Source:

     Jute is extensively cultivated as a cash crop in Bangladesh, which


    supplies more than 95 percent of the world’s requirement of this
    important fibre. It is also cultivated in small quantities in some parts of
    India.
    Preparation of Jute fibre:

     Jute plants are normally straight and unbranched.

     They are cut from the base when the plants are in flower, tied into small
    bundles, stacked and soaked in stagnant water for about three weeks for
    retting.

     The stacks are covered with straw or water hyacinths to keep them wet
    and to protect from direct sunlight.

     When the stem bark is well-macerated by the retting process, the strands
    of the phloem fibres are separated manually from the wood and washed
    free from the surrounding softer tissues and other dirt's thoroughly in
    clean water.
     The fibres are then dried in direct sunlight and made into small bundles.
    Jute fibre is exported in bales made by hydraulic pressure.
    CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

      The jute plant needs a plain alluvial soil and standing water.

     The suitable climate for growing jute (warm and wet) is offered by the
    monsoon climate.

     Temperature from 20 to 40 is required.

     Relative humidity of 70% to 80% is favorable for successful cultivation.

     Jute requires 5-8 cm of rainfall weekly, and more during the sowing time.

     Soft water is necessary for jute production.


    Factors Influencing Quality of Jute

     The type of soil in which jute is grown.

     The process of retting influences the quality of jute.

     Genotype of Jute.

     Microorganisms with balanced pectinolytic activities with minimal or low cellulase


    activities, largely determine fiber quality.

    Macroscopical and Microscopical characters:

     The strands of Jute are pale buff or silvery grey in colour, 1 to 3 long and about 30 to
    140 um in diameter, somewhat coarse in texture.

     They have great tensile strength. The individual fibres vary from 0.8 to 5.0 mm in length
    and 10 to 25 um in diameter, with a quite smooth surface.

     The lumen is not uniform throughout the length of the fibre owing to variation in
    the thickness of the walls.

     The ends of the fibres are rounded and blunt. In transverse sections the cells appear
    polygonal in outline with a rounded lumen which varies considerably in size
    CONSTITUENTS:-

     Jute fibres are composed of 53 percent cellulose, 22 percent


    hemicellulose, 11 percent of lignin, 1 percent of fats and waxes and
    1 percent of ash.
