Abstract

While progress has been made in developing varieties suited for different climatic conditions in the world there is a pressing need for an intensified breeding program in which particular emphasis is placed not only on such features as an increased yield earliness in maturity high protein or oil content etc but also on the suitability of straw and stalks for cellulose production Therefore an attempt was made to analyse sunflower stalks for their suitability as a source for α βand γcellulose Besides that we were able to show that UltraSonic waves can induce favorable biochemical reactions it was logical to try if by means of such sonic treatments sunflowers could become an important source for paperpulp and textile fiber and become herewith a double purpose crop
