Hibiscus cannabinus: Kenaf — Draconitic Research

Abstract

This publication is intended to serve as a source of general information about kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus) for individuals interested in noncommercial usage of the crop. Kenaf is a tropical fiber crop believed to be native to regions of northeastern and central Africa. Being well adapted to the high temperatures and humidity of tropical climates, kenaf is a viable crop in Florida. Commercial production of kenaf is restricted in south Florida and some of central Florida because the crop is a host of the pink bollworm, which threatens Florida cotton production.
