The present study was conducted to investigate the role as determinants of the major mechanical constituents of cleaning Egyptian seed cotton (extra-long staple) Giza 86 cultivar was harvested by cotton picker during 2005 season at El-Karada farm, Kaferelsheikh governorate. The newly cleaning extractor was operated and tested with four saw drum speeds 7.06, 8.63, 10.20 and 12.56 m\s, four levels of feed rates 10, 12.5, 15 and 17.5 kg/min and four levels of moisture content for fiber 11.2, 9.8, 8.7 and 7.9 %, respectively, to determine its effects on some mechanical properties of cleaning seed cotton such as: seed cotton strength, g/tex, seed cotton elongation, %, seed cotton trash content, %, seed cotton wastage, %, and seed cotton cleaning output, kg/min.Results showed that using the new local cleaning seed cotton extractor produced high values of seed cotton strength and seed cotton cleaning output. While, it producted low values of seed cotton elongation, seed cotton trash content and seed cotton wastage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
