Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a study of the cotton plant in Egypt, follows the cotton's journey in the Nile Valley from ancient times to the present day. Once a rare and curious botanical find, cotton has since become integral to the country's economy, with the author tracing the development of modern strains and examining issues such as environmental impact and climate change. The author also considers the importance of the plant's growth and physiology, examining the relationship between sunshine, soil, and water and growth rates. These factors, the author argues, are essential to comprehending the health of the cotton plant and the wider agricultural industry that relies on it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Studies of Quality in Cotton' is a seminal scientific investigation into the physical and biological factors that determine the value and utility of cotton fibers. Written by the distinguished botanist W. Lawrence Balls, this work bridges the gap between agricultural production and the textile industry, providing a rigorous analysis of how the plant's growth conditions affect the eventual quality of the spun yarn.The text explores the intricacies of fiber structure, the measurement of staple length, and the impact of environmental factors on crop uniformity. By applying scientific methodology to the traditional art of cotton grading, Balls offers insights into the relationship between the raw material and its industrial performance. The book examines the technical aspects of spinning tests and the physiological development of the cotton hair, making it an essential resource for those interested in the history of textile technology and agricultural science.This comprehensive volume serves as a foundational text for understanding the evolution of quality control in the global cotton trade. It remains a significant contribution to the fields of economic botany and industrial research, highlighting the importance of scientific precision in optimizing one of the world's most vital natural resources.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
