Corchorus capsularis
Corchorus capsularis is a flowering plant belonging to the family Malvaceae. It is commonly known as jute and is primarily cultivated for its fibers, which are used to make burlap, sacks, and other textiles. The plant grows in tropical and subtropical regions and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil.
The jute plant can reach heights of up to 3 meters and produces yellow flowers. Its fibers are extracted from the stem and are known for their strength and biodegradability. Corchorus capsularis plays a significant role in the economy of several countries, particularly in Bangladesh and India, where jute is a major cash crop.
