Costs of Producing and Processing Closed-Boll Cotton1

Harvesting cotton in closed bolls may be a method of excluding biologically active byssinotic agents from seed-cotton and reducing textile mill dust levels. The closed-boll cotton would be machine-stripped, dried, and stored in modules until ginning. Estimates of cost and performance, from harvestin...

Description
Summary:Harvesting cotton in closed bolls may be a method of excluding biologically active byssinotic agents from seed-cotton and reducing textile mill dust levels. The closed-boll cotton would be machine-stripped, dried, and stored in modules until ginning. Estimates of cost and performance, from harvesting through yarn manufacturing, suggest that using cotton from closed bolls may be economically feasible.
