The Possibilities Of Using Pheromone Traps And Total Thermal Summation In Estimating Adult Emergence Of Pectinophora Gossypiella (Saund.), A Pest Of Cotton Growing Areas In Amik Plain, Cafer Mart, Oğuzhan Doğanlar, Şener Tarla Jan 2002

The Possibilities Of Using Pheromone Traps And Total Thermal Summation In Estimating Adult Emergence Of Pectinophora Gossypiella (Saund.), A Pest Of Cotton Growing Areas In Amik Plain, Cafer Mart, Oğuzhan Doğanlar, Şener Tarla

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In 1996-1999, studies on the utilization of pheromone traps for the estimation of adult emergence and the observation of the seasonal population dynamics of Pectinophora gossypiella (Saund.), which tends to spread in cotton growing areas, and on the determination of day-degree values for its biological stages were carried out in Amik Plain. It was found that adult emergence of the overwintering generation first occurred between late April and early May and lasted for 2-2.5 months. The effective total summation for first adult emergence was 136.43, 137.43 and 186.95 day-degree, and that for maximum adult emergence was 570.80, 460.23 and 479.35 …


Determination Of Relationships Between Various Aerodynamics, Physio-Mechanical And Fiber Properties In Cotton, Mustafa Bülent Coşkun Jan 2002

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 …
