A laboratory method for the determination of fibre content of linen flax

Pages 43-46 | Received 24 Apr 1978, Published online: 12 Jan 2012
 

Abstract

A laboratory-scale method for the determination of the fibre content of flax straw is described. Values for percent total fibre, which were found to remain constant over the latter stages of growth, were correlated with the percent yield of scutched fibre obtained from crops processed by tank retting. The method may be used to predict the percent scutched fibre yields of crops before harvesting.
