Abstract

Excerpts from the Preface: Kenaf is a long-fibered annual pulp crop that can be grown in the United States. This plant is a potential source of raw material for the paper and pulping industry. Research at the Northern Utilization Research Laboratory of the Agricultural Research Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, at Peoria, Ill., has shown that it is technically feasible to make paper products from kenaf pulp alone or in combination with various wood pulps. The successful development of kenaf as a commercial crop would provide farm operators with an alternative source of income from farmland that is being used to produce crops currently in surplus supply. This bibliography lists reports and articles containing information on kenaf published during the period 1950-62. Subjects covered in the bibliography are: (1) Varietal selection and breeding, (2) diseases and pest control, (3) cultural practices and production requirements, (4) processing and machinery development, (5) geographical adaptation, (6) fiber composition and use as a substitute for jute fiber and raw materials for pulping, and (7) yields and seed production. Items are arranged in alphabetical order according to author.
