Cotton grown on a Mississippi Delta farm in ultra narrow rows was machine stripped and then ginned in a commercial gin using an experimental machinery sequence and a conventional picker machinery sequence. During ginning some of the seed cotton was saved and ginned in the USDA Micro Gin using USDA stripper and picker machinery sequences. Very few differences were detected in USDA classer data, High Volume Instrument and Advanced Fiber Information System measurements for the various ginning techniques. Neither turnout nor bale value were different for the two machinery sequences in either gin. Only neps were increased by the experimental machinery sequence in the commercial gin. |
