Summary
In the joint research project KendyrTEX, German and Central Asian partners are cooperating to develop a crop with an industrial character from the wild plant Kendyr using artisanal processing technology. Apocynum venetum, colloquially known as kendyr hemp or dogbane, is a wild plant native to Central Asia that, when developed into a cultivated plant, is capable of producing textile-grade bast fibres from the plant bark. In contrast to all common cultivated plants, Kendyr can grow on saline soils and hold its own there. Kendyr fibres produced as an agricultural product and refined into cottonised fibres thus offer the possibility of practising agriculture on otherwise unusable arable land and without additional water consumption, and to use existing cotton textile machines during processing.
