The Effect of Rain on Fiber and Yarn Quality of Cotton (G. hirsutum L.) Varieties in Two Different Growing Seasons

ABSTRACT

Cotton fibers are the most important raw material of the textile industry. Clean collection of cotton fibers improves the quality of textile products. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of normal and late harvest period of different cotton varieties on cotton fiber and yarn properties. The HVI and AFIS values of the fibers obtained as a result of the late harvest period and the normal harvest period of different cotton varieties grown in the same field and obtained in different years, and the quality properties of the yarns obtained from these fibers were determined. As a result of the test, the quality characteristics were low due to the late harvest due to the exposure of the fibers to rain during the 2018 harvest period. According to the test results, the quality values of the fiber in the normal harvest period of 2019 and the yarns obtained from these fibers were better. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of late harvest period on fiber and yarn quality properties and thus on quality of textile products.

摘要

棉纤维是纺织工业最重要的原料. 棉纤维的干净收集提高了纺织品的质量. 本研究旨在探讨不同棉花品种正常收获期和收获后期对棉纤维和成纱性能的影响. 测定了不同年份在同一田地种植的不同棉花品种在收获后期和正常收获期获得的纤维的HVI和AFIS值, 以及从这些纤维获得的纱线的质量特性. 测试结果表明, 由于2018年收获期间纤维暴露在雨水中导致收获延迟, 因此质量特征较低. 根据测试结果, 2019年正常收获期的纤维质量值以及从这些纤维中获得的纱线质量较好. 本研究的目的是确定收获后期对纤维和纱线质量性能的影响, 从而对纺织品质量的影响.
