Oilseeds cotton

Biodiesel can be produced from various oilseed-yielding plants like castor, cotton, jatropha, palm, rape, soy, etc. The straight vegetable oils (SVO), which can be derived by physical and chemical treatment (milling/refining), are then converted into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), also known as biodiesel. Similar to ethanol, these routes are established and proven, and their costs depend heavily on two factors ...

The major protein sources used in animal production are oilseed meals. Their use in poultry diets was reviewed by Ravindran and Blair (1992). Soybeans, groundnuts, canola and sunflowers are grown primarily for their seeds, which produce oils for human consumption and industrial uses. Cottonseed is a by-product of cotton production, and its oil is widely used for food and other purposes. In the past linseed (flax) was grown to provide fibre for linen cloth production. The invention of the cotton gin made cotton more available for clothing materials and the demand for linen cloth decreased. Production of linseed is now directed mainly to industrial oil production. Thus, soybean is clearly the predominant oilseed produced in the world. 

Chemical Name 4-(dipropylamino)-3,5-dinitrobenzene-sulfonamide 3,5-dinitro-lV, A -dipropylsulfanilamide Uses herbicide for pre-emergence control of many annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in cotton, fruit trees, vines, nut trees, soybeans, groundnuts, oilseed rape, sunflowers, lucerne, peas, sweet potatoes, mint, ornamentals and also used in noncrop areas. 

In summary, cotton s future is positive. Cotton use should benefit from consumer demand stemming from favorable economic growth prospects and because of research. On the production side, global output should continue to provide an adequate supply for mill demand. Finally, cotton, one of the most important textile fibers and one of the world s important oilseed crops, should continue to be recognized as a significant commodity in world trade and the consumption of this important fiber, food, and feed crop will continue to grow but at a slower rate than synthetic fibers. 

Cottonseed Preparation. Most oilseeds require some degree of cleaning and preparation before the oil is separated from the solid portion of the seed. After the cotton flber is removed from the seed by the ginning operation, the seed still has short linters with a white appearance. This is called white or fuzzy cottonseed in the... 

Adapted from Lipinsky et al. (1984). Growth is under dry-land conditions except for cotton, which is irrigated. The yield for the Chinese tallow tree is one reported yield equivalent to 6270 L/ha of oil plus tallow and is not an average yield from several sources. It is believed that the yield would be substantially less than this in managed dense stands, but still higher than that of conventional oilseed crops. 

Graminaceous crops are sensitive to fenoxaprop-ethyl with the exception of wheat and rye. Tolerant broad-leaved crops are clover, cotton, field beans, peas, potatoes, soybean, (Schumacher et al., 1982a, b), sugar beet, sunflower, tobacco, alfalfa and oilseed rape.

At present, herbicides are the most widely marketed group of pesticides, including 267 active compounds formulated in more than 3000 commercial products. The herbicide market in 2001 expressed as a function of the target crop consists of 20% for soybeans and oilseeds, 19% for corn, 17% for cereals, 8% for rice, 6% for fruits and nuts, and 5% for cotton. From the geographic point of view, 40% of the herbicide market is in North America, 25% in Europe, Middle East, and Africa, 18% in Pacific Asia, and 17% in Latin America.
