Cotton: From Field to Fabric( Chapter 2)

Insect Management

The cotton plant has evolved with numerous damaging insects. These insects, if left unattended, would

virtually eliminate the harvestable crop in most cottonproducing areas. Plants infested with leaf-feeding insects

are able to compensate somewhat by producing more leaves. Many of cotton’s insects, however, feed on

squares and bolls. This reduces the yield and leads to delays in crop development, often into the frost or rainy

season. The cotton industry utilizes a multifaceted approach to the problem of insects. Known as Integrated

Pest Management (IPM), it keeps pests below yield-damaging levels. IPM is dependent on natural populations

of beneficial insects to suppress damaging pests. Additionally, some cotton varieties are genetically bred to be

less attractive to insects. Some plants are improved by modern biotechnology, which causes the plant to be

resistant to certain damaging worms. Other modern biocontrol strategies also are used. For example, where

populations of damaging pink bollworm insects break out, sterile insect releases are used to target the pest

and minimize disruption to the beneficial insects. Also, cultural practices that promote earliness and

shortseason production reduce the vulnerability of cotton production to pests. Plant protection chemicals are

often used to prevent devastating crop losses to insects. All plant protection methods used on plants in the

U.S. are thoroughly evaluated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assure food safety and

protection to humans, animals and to the environment.

Harvesting

While harvesting is one of the final steps in the production of cotton crops, it is one of the most important. The

crop must be harvested before weather can damage or completely ruin its quality and reduce yield. Cotton is

machine harvested in the U.S., beginning in July in south Texas and in October in more northern areas of the

Belt. Stripper harvesters, used chiefly in Texas and Oklahoma, have rollers or mechanical brushes that

remove the entire boll from the plant. In the rest of the Belt, spindle pickers are used. These cotton pickers pull

the cotton from the open bolls using revolving barbed spindles that entwine the fiber and release it after it has

separated from the boll.

Seed Cotton Storage

Once harvested, seed cotton must be removed from the harvester and stored before it is delivered to the gin.

Seed cotton is removed from the harvester and placed in modules, relatively compact units of seed cotton. A

cotton module, shaped like a giant bread loaf, can weigh up to 25,000 pounds.
