Abstract
A method is described for the determination of free gossypol in cotton leaves with greater accuracy. The improved accuracy results from the elimination of the interference from chlorophyll and from quickly converting the extracted gossypol to the dianilino derivative. Methods for the determination of the free and bound gossypol in cotton flower buds are described.
