[edit] Summary

Retting of Jute Stalk:

• Hitting the fiber with wooden hammer,
• Pulling out the fiber from the hurd or core,
• Washing the extracted fiber with water,
• Squeezing out the water from the fiber, and
• Stocking the fiber for drying.

Retting is used to extract Jute fiber from the Bast or Skin of the plant. This retting process is called Water Retting or Microbial Retting, because the microbial reaction is used to separate fiber from the Jute plant while submerging jute stalk in water. This process is the most popular and ancient retting technology and capable of extracting finer fibers than other retting technologies (Chemical, Mechanical, Steam/Dew). However, Water Retting is also applicable for other Bast fibers.
