Optimizing plant density to improve the soil microenvironment and enhance crop productivity in cotton/cumin intercropping systems by Humei Zhang, Humei Zhang, Liwen Tian, Xianzhe Hao, Nannan Li, Xiaojuan Shi, Feng Shi, Yu Tian, Wenbo Wang, Honghai Luo

“…IntroductionResidual film pollution has become a key factor that affects the sustainable development of cotton, and intercropping may be an economical and environmentally friendly method to reduce the negative effects of nonmulched conditions on cotton growth. We hypothesized that optimizing the cotton/cumin intercropping density would improve the soil environment and increase crop productivity and resource utilization.MethodsTherefore, in this study, singlecropping cotton (CK) was used as the control, and three intercropping cumin seeding densities were used (plants ha-1: 5×105, ID1; 8×105, ID2; and 11×105, ID3). …”
