FIELD WEATHERING EFFECTS ON SELECTED COTTON FIBER QUALITY PARAMETERS IN THE TEXAS HIGH PLAINS

摘要

The objectives of this study were to document the effects of harvest timing (with and without harvest-aid crop termination) on field-weathering losses, cotton fiber and seed quality, and yield, and to document losses associated with harvesting (with and without bur extracting), and subsequent ginning losses, textile concerns, and overall economics.
