Determination Of Relationships Between Various Aerodynamics, Physio-Mechanical And Fiber Properties In Cotton, Mustafa Bülent Coşkun
Determination Of Relationships Between Various Aerodynamics, Physio-Mechanical And Fiber Properties In Cotton, Mustafa Bülent Coşkun
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
The relationships between aerodynamic properties such as vacuum pressure and suction speed and the fiber and physio-mechanical properties of cotton during harvesting were determined by using the Nazilli 84 cotton variety. Aerodynamic properties such as vacuum pressure and suction speed and physio-mechanical properties such as wet and dry lock masses, lock moisture, number of seeds per lock, carpel openness, carpel depth, carpel angle and force of lock break-off were measured. In addition fiber length, fiber strength, fiber elongation and fiber fineness were determined. The statistical relationships between the aerodynamic, physio-mechanical and fiber properties were also determined. It was observed that …
