Abstract
Sesbania aculeate grown on farmlands may be pulped by using Kraft process. Chips were cooked for 3 hours at 170oC and using 15 percent Active Alkali and 25 percent Sulphidity. Yield of the unbleached pulp was 42.5 percent. Pulp was easily bleachable by DEP bleaching sequence and brightness of the pulp was 80 percent. Planting of Sesbania may improve the salt affected lands and increase the income of farmers through the sales of wood and raising the livestock.
