A study conducted to evaluate the effect of heated-air velocity and air-to-cotton ratio on the amount of moisture evaporated from seed cotton in cotton gin dryers established minimum practical airflow rates for the dryers. The results can be used to reduce energy requirements in the transport...

Three experimental harvesting and storage treatments were applied to seed cotton in the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta to determine their effectiveness in preventing the development of aflatoxins during the period between harvesting and ginning. The experiments were conducted using full-scale...
