Relating Yarn Tenacity to Fiber Strength in Four Cotton Cultivars

There have been considerable interests of aiming to evaluate yarn tenacity property from available cotton fiber quality data acquired by various means, including HVI^TM test that is a primary and routine measurement of providing fiber properties to cotton researchers. The purpose of this study was to characterize the fiber HVI strength and yarn skein tenacity of four cotton cultivar harvested from three locations in three crop years.  Instead of developing linear regression models from acquired HVI fiber qualities to predict yarn tenacity, this study examined the effects of HVI fiber quality components on correlations between corrected fiber strength and yarn tenacity.
