Other Uses
Agroforestry Uses: Useful for erosion control[317 ]. Other Uses: The grass is woven into mats, light shoes etc[46 , 317 ]. The plant is a good source of fibre, which is widely used for making sails, ropes and string[46 , 266 ]. The fibre is suitable for papermaking[46 ]. Pulping is performed under alkaline conditions, and the pulp is often mixed with short-fibred pulps from hardwoods or from agricultural waste material such as rice straw. In the early 1950s E. binata represented about 22% of the total fibrous material pulped in India, but in recent years its use for pulp production has decreased because of limited supply. Plantations have been established to increase production.
