A bacterial consortium developed on coconut husk leachates could ret coconut husk steeped for Construction retting in rap water in a period of three months.The quality of the coir fibre obtained was comparable to traditionally retted fibre.The consortia could also bestow a greater degree of softness to the mechanically extracted coir fibre.Coir extraction can therefore be practiced by supplying the consortia for retting of Multi-Tools husk for production of fibre and enhance the commercial utilization of the husk in coconut growing regions of Asia.
