From 2010 to 2013, cotton imports increased by 99%.

In general, the demand for raw materials for the textile and textile products (TPT) industry increased from 365 thousand tons to 500 thousand tons. Introduction Indonesia is the second largest importer of cotton fiber in the world. The author did not deepen the study of composite technology, but slightly raised the VARI technology as well as several industrial users such as construction and aerospace industries.ġ. In addition, the author provides an overview of one of the uses of ramie fiber is the manufacture of ramie textile-based composites which are used for various industries. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate that ramie fiber has the prospect of being developed in Indonesia as a substitute for cotton, given the land suitability and proven agricultural methods. Ramie fiber with superior properties such as tensile strength and higher moisture regain than cotton, can be used as an alternative to replace cotton. Ramie plant (Boehmeria nivea GAUD) has long been developed in Indonesia, but the results have not been encouraging. To reduce dependence on cotton fiber, it is necessary to develop other natural fiber material sources. However, the application of all kind of extiact did not suppress the incident of bacterial wilt of banana plant.The needs of the textile industry for cotton natural fibers are very large and almost 100% are obtained from imports. Fruit extract had the highest ability in suppressing the growth of bacterial wilt. The results showed that extract of fruit, leaf and root of pace suppressed the growth of R. In vitro study was conducted by using completely randomized design, while intact plant study was conducted by using completely randomized block design. The treatments for both in vitro and intact plants were (1) steril water (control), (2) extract of pace fruit, (3) extract of pace fruit leaves, (4) extract of pace roots and (5) bactericide (agrymycin sulfate). The study consisted of in vitro and intact plant experiments. A study on the effect of extract of pace plant against bacterial wilt of banana were carried out in laboratory and experimental farm of Plant Protection Department, College of Agriculture, University of Lampung from May until October 2003. Bacterial wilt of banana (Ralstonia solanacearum) is one of banana diseases that potentially destructs banana plants in some areas. Inhibitory effect of pace extraction on growth of pathogen and development of bacterial wilt of banana disease.
