Lantana camara Linn. Is a noxious weed posing a serious threat to the ecology. It demands concrete efforts for its management. L. camara was evaluated for its pulp and paper making properties. Data on chemical constituents, fibre dimensions, unbleached, bleached yield and physical strength properties of pulp sheets were obtained. Parameters of proximate chemicals and fibre morphology were non-significantly different for samples and replications (α = 0.05). The unbleached pulp yields under different pulping process were 50.5-44.6%. Laboratory hand made pulp sheets with adequate strength properties were obtained from soda, soda-sulphite and kraft pulps prepared from L. camara plant material.Keywords

Within and among tree variations in physico-chemical and anatomical properties of seed raised plantation wood of Leucaena leucocephala have been investigated. Within tree variation in specific gravity, fibre length and fibre length/diameter ratio were significant due to height. The variation in anatomical properties and ratios in radial direction were non-significant. Within tree variation were significant between bole and twigs. Inter-tree variations for wood anatomical properties were also significant and accounted for genetic variability in trees for wood traits. Site quality also affected anatomical properties and pulping and paper quality ratios significantly. Lignin content (%) significantly varied with reference to height and also shown significant inter-tree variation. Lignin content (%) was significantly positively correlated with fibre wall thickness. Extractives had shown non-significant intra and inter-tree variations. Most of the anatomical characters shown significant positive correlation to each other. Vessel member dimensions shown significant negative correlation with specific gravity.Keywords

Bamboo contributes as a source of long fiber in the pulp and paper furnish. The physical and chemical characteristic of bamboo as a raw material varied form species to species. The raw material having low lignin content reduces chemical consumption and pollution load during pulping and bleaching whereas high holocellulose content results in more productivity. Anatomical characters like fibre morphology is one of the important character which plays very important role on the structure and properties of the end products like paper and textile. The ratio of length and wall thickness affect the flexibility and collapsibility of fiber, which inturn reduces the energy requirement during beating. There is need to fill up the gap between demand and supply by raising quality bamboo.Keywords
