Abstract
Although narrow rows yielded more and reduced production costs, strippers caused more harvesting and ginning problems than spindle-picked cotton in normal rows. Cover photo shows cotton stripper with experimental brush-type stripper head for harvesting narrow-row cotton.
Evaluation of narrow-row cotton is a long-term project involving many U.C. staff members. Those participating in the phase of the study reported here include
The authors gratefully acknowledge the cooperation and support from individual cotton growers for land, labor, and other resources for conducting test plots; equipment manufacturers for the use of planting and harvesting equipment; cotton organizations and agencies for supplemental grant funds; and the USDA Cotton Research Station, Shafter, for the use of small-scale ginning facilities and fiber analysis.
