Fiber and Yarn Properties of Smooth- and Hairy-Leaf Cotton

摘要

The fiber and yarn properties of four hairy-leaf and four smooth-leaf cotton varieties were investigated after gin processing that included two lint cleaner treatments. Two stages of lint cleaning improved nonlint content, leaf and composite grades, trash code, fine dust remaining in ginned lint, and waste removed by the flat strips of the card as compared with one state of lint cleaning. However, two lint cleaners reduced lint, length uniformity, strength and break factor.
