Fibre elongation contributes directly to yarn elongation and toughness, which are important particularly in fine count yarn spinning and realised yarn quality.

The project successfully captured interactions between cultivar (genetic) x season (environment) x field management x post processing (ginning) variables.

The objective of this project was to further investigate the relationship between cotton cellulose’s crystalline structure and the fibre’s tensile properties, as affected by chemical, genetic and/or environmental effe

The Sicala 340BRF fibre grown commercially over the last three seasons generally produced a fibre with variable quality.
