M. Nawaz, Iftikhar Ahmad and M. Saleem

Abstract: Four techniques to remove the byssinogenic agent ‘endotoxin’ from the cotton varieties grown in difference area of the punjab were applied. Autoclave technique was the best treatment for optimum endotoxin eradication alongwith minimum fiber damage. Cotton grown in Sargodha zone recorded the lowest level of endotoxin.
