The effect of shocking treatment on cotton seeds before sowing by electrical current on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) stickiness and some fiber traits under Kahramanmaras conditions
In this study carried out in 1999-2000 at Kahramanmaras 5 cotton cultivars which belong to Gossypium hirsutum L. (Maras-92, Sayar-314, Cukurova-1518, Nazilli-87 and the mutant cotton variety of Agdas-3 that was obtained by mutation breeding in Azerbaijan) were used as a material. High voltage electrical current (30 KV/30 sec.) was applied to the seeds of above-mentioned cotton cultivars before sowing without soaking by using the shocking instrument called "CORONA" which was brought from Azerbaijan. In both years, field experiments were established according to the experimental design of split plots with four blocks using the shocked and unshocked (control) seeds of the cultivars. Fiber properties of lint samples were determined by using HVI analyser but the stickiness counts were determined by FCT (Fiber Contamination Tester). According to two years' results, stickiness values of the cultivars were found low in this region. For all investigated traits the shocking treatment were not statistically significant in Kahramanmaras conditions. In spite of the effects of the shocking treatment were found statistically insignificant on stickiness, it was determined that the shocking treatment had decreasing stimulative effects on sticky spots the all varieties.
