fitotecnia

Fitotecnia is the science and technology of harvesting, drying, and processing plant fibers, particularly for use in textile production. The term is derived from the Greek words "fito," meaning plant, and "tecnologia," meaning technology. It encompasses a range of techniques and methods used to extract usable fibers from plants, such as cotton, flax, and hemp.

Fitotecnia involves the transformation of raw plant fibers into usable materials, such as yarns, woven fabrics,

Fitotecnia also involves the use of various machinery and equipment, such as ginning machines for cotton processing,

In addition to plant fibers, fitotecnia may also involve the processing of animal fibers, such as wool

The application of fitotecnia is widespread, with the industry using various techniques to produce a huge variety
