Abstract

The feasibility of a narrow-row once-over harvest system for western area cottons was evaluated. The study objectives were to determine (1) if western cottons produced in narrow rows and harvested with stripper harvesters equipped with field extractors will require more elaborate seed cotton cleaning systems in the gin and (2) if the textile mill processing and spinning performance of narrow-row stripped cotton is comparable to that of conventional-row picked cotton. Elaborate seed cotton cleaning systems removed more trash than moderate seed cotton cleaning systems, but ginned lint trash contents were not significantly different following two stages of lint cleaning. Trash content of stripped cotton was higher than that for picked cotton at all stages of processing. There were no other practical differences in fiber or yarn properties for the different harvesting and ginning treatments.
