Abstract

Fiber characteristics in some common weeds of Arunachal Pradesh were investigated and compared with those of Pinus kesiya and Gmelina arborea to see their potential for making pulp and paper. The studies revealed that all selected species except Scoparia dulcis were rich in fibers. Fiber characteristics were measured to determine Runkel&
