Effects of Defoliation, Plant Maturity, and Ginning Setup on Cotton Quality and Value in the Midsouth (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Effects of Defoliation, Plant Maturity, and Ginning Setup on Cotton Quality and Value in the Midsouth
Porter and others (9) indicated that some of the advantages resulting from defoliation are higher harvesting efficiency, increased picking time per day, retardation of crop deterioration, reduction of insect population in the crop, and reduction of lint stain and trash content. They also gave some general tips concerning the ap plication of a defoliant. Thomas and Williamson (13) found that early and intermediate defoliation appeared to lower the fiber as judged by length, strength, Micro naire, and similar measurements and quantity of the crop harvested by the picker. Defoliation also tended to improve grade. Riley and Williamson (10) compared weather parameters in defoliated and untreated fields. They discovered that the relative humidity re mained at less than 50 percent for about an hour longer after sunrise in a defoliated field; these measurements indicate that defoliated cotton fields are drier in the daytime during the time of picking. They also found that the maximum temperature before frost averaged almost 5° F higher in the defoliated field and the minimum temperature 1° F lower.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought provoking book analyzes the evolving relationship between cotton production, harvesting, and ginning techniques and their impact on the quality of the finished cotton product. The research, which was conducted over 3 years to ensure accurate real-world conditions, ultimately aims to assist cotton farmers in maximizing both the quality and quantity of their harvests. The author presents historical data on previous studies and theories surrounding cotton production and harvesting procedures, and then goes on to detail the methods and results of the 3-year analysis. Thematic threads woven throughout the book, such as the trade-offs between yield quantity and quality, and the varying cost-benefit equations of defoliation and ginning setups, will resonate with diverse audiences. The depth of research and analysis in this book makes it a valuable asset for both established cotton producers and those seeking to enter the field.
