The commonly used Micronaire value for cotton is related to both fibre fineness and maturity. There is a need for a new measurement technique to separate these.

My attending the conference and visit to Texas has provided an opportunity to update on recent US research and experience and has enabled me to meet a number of US cotton researchers.
