摘要

Leaves from greenhouse-grown Yucca plants were harvested and retted by microbial and chemical methods respectively.The dimensions and tensile strengths of the two sets of products were compared.While the fibers obtained by microbial retting had superior tensile strength,the chemically retted fibers were devoid of debris,whiter and generally more attractive.The method of retting should match the use to which the plant fibers are intended.
