Fibre was extracted from stem of Dhaincha (Sesbania aculelata) by 15 days tank retting. It is harsh, coarse and shiny fibre but lacks the elasticity, which was further processed for scouring with 1 per cent KOH and bleached with 1 per cent H2O2. Treated fibres which were obtained after treatment with 1 per cent KOH and 1 per cent H2O2 had good in strength, fineness, moisture regain, elongation and whiteness index.
