Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: A tabletop saw gin at two ginning rates was used to gin 27 commercial Upland and Pima seed cotton samples from different crop years, grown locations, and cotton cultivars, in conjunction with a laboratory blender for blending the lint samples. Ginning process influenced one HVI property (UI) and also two AFIS indices (SFC(w), SFC(n)) significantly, blending process impacted four HVI qualities (Rd, Area%, Trash Count and Leaf Grade) and nine AFIS properties (Nep Size, Neps, Total Count, Trash Size, Dust Count, Trash Count, VFM, SCN Size and SCN Count) significantly, and the interaction of ginning and blending process affected more HVI and AFIS qualities.
