This article investigates the selection of an input indicator for studying the kinematic and structural parameters
of an elliptical drum in a vertical-spindle cotton-picking apparatus. The relevance of the study is associated with the need to
improve the completeness and quality of mechanised cotton harvesting. The aim is to substantiate apparatus parameters
through an assessment of field agrotechnical conditions. The research is based on field observations conducted during the
2025 harvesting season. The number of cotton plants and open bolls was recorded in three-metre row sections. The leastsquares
method was applied to process the collected data. A positive linear relationship between plant number and openboll
count was identified. The scientific novelty lies in proposing a regression-based approach that uses field indicators to
select elliptical-drum parameters.
