THE EFFECT OF GREEN MANURE OR SIDERATE CROPS INCLUDED IN SHORT-ROTATION CROP ROTATION SYSTEMS ON COTTON GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

The article discusses the impact and significance of the effects of green manure crops included in short-rotation crop rotation systems on cotton growth and development in saline soils. The significance of the research results is that in conditions of saline soils, the introduction of mung bean, soybean, and barley as siderate crops into short-rotation crop rotation systems has been scientifically proven to have a positive effect on the growth, development, yield, and productivity of cotton due to the improvement of soil fertility as a result of the development of a crop rotation system such as winter wheat + siderate (mung bean+soybean+barley) crop:cotton:cotton and a 1:2 crop rotation system such as winter wheat + siderate (mung bean+soybean+barley) crops + 10 t/ha fertilizer:cotton:cotton 1:2. The article discusses the effective use of areas freed from grain in saline soils, the importance of introducing siderate crops into the cotton and grain crop rotation system, and the effectiveness of using additional organic fertilizers. Sideration helps to increase soil fertility and increase the yield of crops planted in the coming years.
