Carpinus betulus also proves promising, albeit a question remains as to whether this species flowers profusely when grown as a...
Yellow vein mosaic disease–infected plants will lose about 70% of the fiber yield when inoculation occurs at an early stage of growth (Roy et al., 2009). Studies showed that continuous cultivation of infected fields could lead to more than 40% of Roselle crops being blight disease infected....
