SPINNABILITY STUDY OF WHITE JUTE GROWN-UP IN DISSIMILAR REGION OF BANGLADESH

extent when it is chemically treated. So, initial fibre strength is an essential physical property to be known before its chemical treatment. Moreover, under any condition the proper utilization of materials becomes key factor in economic production. Quality of jute yarn based on strength of fibre from different places will be known and may be helpful to all concerned. Bundle strength in terms of Pressley Index (PI) value of white jute fibres of different jute growing areas were measured for the assessment of quality of yarn. Samples were collected from different local jute markets of Faridpur, Shariatpur, Rangpur, Naogaon, Kishoregonj, Jamalpur, Hajigonj, Khulna and Jessore. Only the Corchorus capsularis (White Jute) variety was taken for this study. Experiments were carried out using Pressley Fibre Strength Tester. It was found from this study that the fibre of Tarail in the district of Kishoregonj possessed the highest Pressley Index value amongst all and the fibre of Dumuria of Khulna district possessed the lowest mean value of Pressley Index value. In terms of variability all the five samples of Shariatpur district showed better results than that of Faridpur district. The findings indicate that the white jute, grown in Kishoreganj have the better spinnability in terms of fibre strength and yarn quality.
