Five common cotton cultivars in West Texas were evaluated, each with early, mid, and late season stripper harvesting. Each situation was simulated with 0, 1, 2, and 3 stages of lint cleaning in ginning to determine the maximum net returns associated with lint cleaning. The optimal number of lint cleanings was 2 in half of the situations examined, and 1 or 3 stages of lint cleaning in the other situations. No clear-cut general guidelines were derived. |
