The material removed by saw-type gin stands and saw-type lint cleaners was investigated in three studies. For Study 1, gin stand waste varied from 5.5 to 17.7 pounds per 500-pound bale whereas lint cleaner waste ranged from 6.4 to 19.3 pounds. For Study 2, gin stand waste ranged from a low of 4.9 pounds for Deltapine 5409 to 11.2 pounds for Suregrow 125. Lint cleaner waste ranged from 11.4 pounds for NuCotn 33 to 18.7 pounds for Deltapine 5409. For Study 3, which included 25 varieties at two growth locations, gin stand waste averaged 4.9 and 7.6 pounds across all varieties. Lint cleaner waste was 18.4 and 18.9 pounds for the two growth locations. The factors that govern the fibrous waste in cotton should be investigated.
