5. Cotton Outline: Introduction Species and Varieties of Cotton Properties End Uses 5

6. Introduction Cotton referred to as the“King of fibers”is most important textile fiber in the world. Cotton plant belongs to the spp. “GOSSYPIUM”. Cotton covers 2.5% the world's cultivated land yet U ses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop . 6

7. Conti…… Production is 9.9 million bales upto 15 million bales In Punjab cultivated area 79% In Sindh cultivated area 20%  Remaining 1% cultivated area in Kpk and Balochistan . Chromosome no. 2n=26, 4n=52 7

8. Species of Cotton There are four commercially-grown species of cotton: Gossypium hirsutum L : U pland cotton, native to Central America, Mexico Gossypium barbadense L: Known as extra-long staple cotton, native to tropical South America 8

9. Conti…… Gossypium arborium: Native to India and Pakistan Gossypium herbaceum: Cotton, native to Southern Africa 9

10. Varieties/Types of Pak Cotton MNH-93(Cotton of Punjab region) NAYYAB-78(Cotton of Sindh region) Organic Cotton BCI Cotton 10

11. Properties of Cotton Fiber Specific Gravity : 1.54 m/v Effect of Moisture: Standard Humidity = 8.5 % Effect of Heat: Excellent Resistance 11

12. Conti…… Effect of Alkalis : Excellent Resistance Effect of Organic Solvents: Dispersed by Copper Complexes and Concentrated 70% Sulphuric acid Chemical Properties: Cellulose = 94 % 12

13. Conti…… Remaining Composition : Protein = 1-1.5% Pectin = 1% Mineral substances = 1% Wax = 0.5% Small amount of organic acids, sugars, pigments = 2% 13

14. Reduction in Yield: Excessive rain at the time of sowing. High temperature at flowering stage. Leaf curl virus incidence, soil system, weather adversaries. Late wheat harvesting resulting in decline of area under the crop. Pest attack and improper production technology in major  cotton  growing areas of Punjab and Sindh. 14

15. End Uses of Cotton: Fabric Garments Household Items: Bed Sheets, Towels Carpets and Curtains Hats 15

16. Jute Outline Introduction Production and Processing of fiber Properties End Uses 16

17. Introduction Jute is a natural fiber popularly known as the "Golden Fiber”. Jute fiber comes from the stem of a herbaceous annual plant Jute is the second in the world’s production of textile fibers after cotton India,China,Bangladesh are leading producers of Jute Bangladesh is the largest cultivator of raw jute 17

18. Conti…… The  area of jute crop in  Pakistan from 1323 hectares in 1980-81 to 22 hectares in 1999-2000 . Yield  per hectare in Pakistan fluctuates from 1097 to 1091 kgs . Chromosome number  2n = 14  Botanical name = Corchorus olitorius 18

19. Two major varieties , Hard District  Jute Soft District  Jute 19

22. Properties of jute Fiber Specific Gravity: 1.5 m/v Length: 1~4meters(3~12feet) Effect of Moisture: Moisture Regain=13.75% 22

23. Conti…… Effect of Age: High content of non-cellulosic matter makes jute sensitive against chemical and photo-chemical attack . Effect of Microorganisms: Jute is more resistant to micro-organism due to protective effect of lignin. 23

24. End Uses Generally used in: Sacks & Packing Cloth Food Storage Backing cloth for carpets Curtains & Furnishing fabric Geotextiles , technical textiles and textile Mixed with wool, used in cheap clothing 24

25. Flax Outline Introduction Cultivated area Uses End uses 25

26. Introduction Botanical name = Linum usitatissium Common name = flax/ linseed Order = Malpighiales Family = Linaceae Genus = Linum Specie = L. usitatissimum Chromosome no. 2n = 30. 26
