Cotton is an important crop in Turkey. Johnsongrass is one of the worst weeds in cotton fields worldwide. Field experiments were carried out in 1992, 1997 and 2002 to show the effect of johnsongrass densities on cotton yield. Johnsongrass densities were 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 plants per 8 m and 0, 3, 6, 8, 11, 14 and 22 plants per 4 m of cotton row. Data were fitted to equations Y = 1/(a+b*X8) in 1997 and 2002 for the number of johnsongrass in 8 m of row length and Y = 1/(a+b*X4(-1/2)) in 1992 and 1997 for the number of johnsongrass in 4 m of row length. Cotton yield was affected by all johnsongrass densities. One johnsongrass plant in 8 m of cotton row decreased cotton yield 4.82 and 9.42% in 1997 and 2002, respectively.

Background: Drought stress is a significant global challenge that negatively impacts cotton fiber yield and quality. Although many drought-stress responsive genes have been identified in cotton species (Gossypium spp.), the diversity of drought response mechanisms across cotton species remains largely unexplored.

Conservation tillage and fertilization are widely adopted in agricultural systems to enhance soil fertility and influence fungal communities, thereby improving agroecosystems. However, the effects of no-tillage combined with manure on grain yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), soil fertility, and rhizosphere fungal communities remain poorly understood, particularly in rainfed wheat fields on the Loess Plateau. A 15-year field experiment was conducted at the Niujiawa Experimental Farm of the Cotton Research Institute, Shanxi Agricultural University.

Soil salinization seriously affects the efficiency of crops in absorbing soil nutrients, and the cotton production in southern Xinjiang accounts for more than 60% of China's total. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the dynamic changes in the salinity of the soil profile in cotton fields in southern Xinjiang, understand the status of soil salinization, and implement effective prevention and control measures. The drip-irrigated cotton fields in Alaer Reclamation Area were taken as the research objects.
