The article presents research which discussed the development and testing of agricultural residues of value added products. The researchers found that such products that were being developed from sugar cane and bagasse include geotextile erosion control materials that have essential performance and cost advantages compared to commercial products. They mentioned some of the important uses for the residues like the reinforcement of composites with synthetic polymeric resins during the continuous phase.
