Progress 10/01/11 to 09/30/12
Outputs
Progress Report Objectives (from AD-416): The objective of this cooperative research project is to provide ginning and testing services to the cotton industry. Approach (from AD-416): The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) will provide small-scale and large-scale ginning services to the cotton industry to expand and expedite public and private research programs. Scientific evaluation of ginning characteristics and fiber properties will be provided to establish optimum cotton production practices and ginning procedures. The unit provided a limited amount of support to companies interested in bringing new equipment to the U.S. cotton industry who needed ginning services. They wanted to try different approaches or to test the material they had processed to assure themselves that they had not adversely affected the cotton. They did not feel that the need for support required a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement, but only a short term limited support effort.

Scientific evaluation of ginning characteristics and fiber properties will be provided to establish optimum cotton production practices and ginning procedures. This project was created to fund sample collection, standard and experimental gin processing of cotton, sample analysis, and data analysis for projects important to the industry, apart from strictly ARS research. During the past year experimental cotton varieties were ginned and analyzed for commercial seed companies. Selected cotton bale bagging materials have been studied and plans have been made to work further with additional bale bagging materials under this agreement. Work is underway to be able to evaluate high-speed roller ginning with appropriate lint cleaning and use of a newer design of lint cleaner. The ADODR personally oversees the data collection and expenditures under this agreement.
