A Half-yearly Peer Reviewed Journal of Bangladesh Forest Research Institute
A study was conducted to evaluate the Suitability of Pigeon pea stem for making paper pulp. Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) stem is characterized by shorter fibres compared to hardwood species. Medium quality pulp was obtained from this plant. The pulp may be suitable for making good quality writing and printing papers. The demand of the raw materials for pulping can be met if Pigeon pea is planted along the 1,45,000 km roads in Bangladesh.
