The Kydia calycina fibers were screened out from various plant sources through the water retting method and then the time duration for extraction of fibers was optimized. After optimization, the extracted Kydia calycina fibers were compared with cotton, flax, and jute fibers on the basis of physical and mechanical properties. The morphology of extracted fibers was also studied through SEM. The results showed that the Kydia calycina plant produces better quality bast fibers with respect to plants like jute and flax.
