Physicochemical properties of pineapple plant waste fibers from the leaves and stems of different varieties

Pineapple agro-waste, the residue produced during harvesting or processing activities, is widely available around the world. After harvesting, most pineapple residue is disposed of and serves as fertilizer, or is burnt in an open field. However, these methods are not only ineffective, but also contr...

description Pineapple agro-waste, the residue produced during harvesting or processing activities, is widely available around the world.
