Résumé : Rapid assessment of the stickiness of cotton can be accomplished with a new, patented apparatus developed at the US Cotton Ginning Laboratory at Stoneville, Mississippi. The apparatus essentially consists of an infrared-based moisture sensor, a resistance-based moisture sensor, a compression mechanism, and a computer equipped with special software. The apparatus may be used either as a stationary laboratory device or as a continuous, online monitor in gin or textile environments. The infrared moisture meter responds to the level of natural sugar, insect sugar, and moisture that is contained within the sample whereas the resistance moisture content is affected only slightly by the insect sugars. Results of several studies involving a number of cottons grown across the US cotton belt indicated that the instrument can correctly estimate stickiness over 75% of the time.
