“…Armstead and Harland [4], who are quoted frequently on the point, give the figure 7.5 percent moisture as the limit below which no fungus growth will be observed on cotton fabrics. In the opinion of Fleming and Thaysen [45] the minimum moisture content which will allow organisms to develop on raw cotton is about 9 percent.…”

the Armed Forces of the United States and her Allies.Rotting was a problem with sandbags used for barricade purposes. Tents were exposed in moist tropical climates conducive to microbiological fiber deterioration. Military fabric items of many kinds were often of necessity treated very roughly in use, being commonly smeared with mud, rolled up and packed wet, or left for long periods in poorly ventilated storage. U. S. Army procurements included more than 250,000,000 yards of rotproofed sandbag fabric [57] , millions of yards of mildewproofed tent fabric ( 59,82], and large amounts of mildewproofed material for jungle hammocks [59~, insect netting [59~, and camouflage nets. Major amounts of mildewproofed webbing, thread, and rope were also used.Although a number of important problems relating
