Abstract
Hibiscus sabdariffa, L., is one of the most important fibre plants of India, commonly known as roselle fibre. There are several Well-known varieties1. The plants can be grown on all types of soils, and hence the economic possibilities are considerable. A study of photoperiodic effects was undertaken in May 1951, since the strain was found to grow best when sown during May–June.
