Abstract
Significant variation of Kenaf (Hibiscus Cannabinus L.) was found to be genotypes, environments and genotype × environment existed in flowering, plant height, stem diameters and fibre yields. Accessions SAU75-414, GS14-52 and AEHC-3 had bast fibre yields higher than the mean value while SAU75-414 and GS14-52 had the highest core fibre yields. Accessions GS14-52, SAU75-414, AU75-452, IFEKEN DI-400, AEHC-3 and IFEKEN 400 had high quality ratios greater than 60%. Thus high fibre yielding SAU75-414, GS14-52 and AEHC-3 are promised both in agronomic performance and fibre quality. Plant height had positive significantly correlated with both types of fibre yields and e-modulus (0.721**). Tensile strength also had positive significant correlations with bast (0.534*) and core (0.606*) fibres, thus the tensile strength can be determined during the plant growth using plant height. E-modulus positively correlated with plant height, base diameter, fibres yields and tensile strength. Based on this, the tensile strength and e-modulus corroborate as versatile selection tools. Accessions SAU75-414, GS14-52 and AEHC-3 combined high fibre yield with high bast fibre and yarn quality. In view of the properties, they are recommended for further experimentation for improvement on fibre yield and quality for use of the farmers and industrialists.
