The biometry, morphological properties and chemical composition of bagasse, corn, sunflower, rice
and rapeseed residues were analyzed. The results revealed there are 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 vary to similar to some of
hardwood and softwood species. In addition, the lignin of all types of agricultural residues is less than
hardwood and softwood species.
