Title-testing of fibre maturity
INTRODUCTION
Maturity indicates ripeness or full development; immaturity
indicates lack of full development. Fibre maturity (in case of
Cotton Fibre) is a fibre characteristic which expresses the
relative degree of thickening of the fibre wall. Mature fibres are
characterised by fully developed secondary walls: the thicker
the wall, the more mature the fibre; the thinner the wall, the
more immature the fibre.
4.Pests: Some pests are good for Plants and some are bad. So
be careful to apply any pesticides on any plants.
