Abstract
ABSTRACT Apendulum apparatus was used to model the cotton lint-seed separation process during ginning. The force required to remove seed coat fragments from the chalazal end of the seed appears to be much less than required to remove the lint from the seed. Variety within geographic area and the interaction of relative humidity and variety within geographic area and the interaction of relative humidity and variety within geographic area were the factors that had the greatest effect on seed coat fragments in this study. These results suggest that it may be possible to reduce the frequency of seed-coat-fragment contamination by choosing varieties that do not contain excessive structural weakness in their chalazal cap region of the seed.
