2002
Bandesha, A.A. (Nuclear Inst. for Agriculture and Biology, Faisalabad (Pakistan)) | Aslam, M. | Chaudhary, M.B.
The present studies were conducted in the Fibre Testing Laboratory of NIAB Faisalabad with three cotton varieties (NIAB-78, SLS- 1 and CIM-240) in triplicated trials conducted for two years. Two hundred opened bolls of these varieties were tagged on 15 October and the samples were picked after every fortnight upto 15 February for fibre analysis. The results showed that fibre strength was significantly reduced due to delayed picking. The staple length was also reduced but the results were non- significant. The micronaire value was least affected by the weathering of seed cotton in the field. Although the results on fibre maturity were non- significant, there was slight improvement due to delayed picking.
