Abstract: Excerpt from the report Summary: Preliminary evaluations were made of the economic potentials of three types of new industrial crops: (1) annual pulp crops to provide raw material for the pulp and paper industry, (2) new oilseed crops that are sources of unique industrial oils, and (3) guar—a summer legume and source of natural gum. In these preliminary studies considerable emphasis was placed on the selection and adaptation of techniques for appraising economic factors involved in the development and commercialization of new crops.
