A Study on The Fibre Parameters of Cotton Quality and Processability Evaluation

Currently, the textile industry is mainly using the two basic commercial quantification methods namely, SCI and FQI to evaluate the technological values of samples of commercial DP-90 cotton genotypes. Of late, researchers were investigating that these two widely used cotton characterization tests as they seem to be insufficient to give quality and processability information about the commercial cottons. I this study a modified fiber quality index (MFQI) is formulated for the studied commercial DP-90 cotton. In the study, experiments were done to assess the importance of the association between tenacity and elongation of cotton fibres in the overall evaluation of the cotton quality and processability. The results obtained from the study demonstrated that the cotton fibre elongation property is critically important to predict the quality and processability of cotton as well. The results obtained show that the combination of HVI and CCS data allows us to predict quite accurately technological values of cotton fiber properties for commercial bales
