The biometry, morphological properties and chemical composition of bagasse, corn, sunflower, rice,
and rapeseed residues were analyzed. The results revealed there were significant differences among
the agricultural residues in biometry and morphology properties and chemical composition. The
greatest proportion of fiber length (1.32 mm) and cellulose (55.56%) was found in residues of bagasse,
with a low ash (1.78%) and lignin (20.5%). The rice and rapeseed residues had highest amount of ash
and extractive component. The slenderness and flexibility ratios of the all types of agricultural residues
fibers were very to similar to some of hardwood and softwood species. In addition, the lignin content of
the studied agricultural residues is less than hardwood and softwood species.
