Mechanisms of improved nitrogen utilization and root architecture in cotton under reduced fertilization: a comparative study of individual and group planting systems by Sijia Wang, Sijia Wang, Jinghua Zhao, Jinghua Zhao, Chunxia Wang, Tingrui Yang, Tingrui Yang

“…These environmental consequences threaten the sustainability of global agricultural systems and impair cotton growth performance and resource-use efficiency. Under China’s national policy of zero-growth in fertilizer application, it is critical to elucidate the spatial distribution patterns of cotton root systems under nitrogen reduction conditions, quantify the contributions of water and nitrogen inputs to total nitrogen accumulation in different cotton organs, and analyze water-nitrogen management interactions to enhance water and nitrogen use efficiency in cotton cropping systems.MethodsIn this study, three irrigation quotas (488 mm, 444 mm, and 400 mm are denoted as W1, W2, and W3) and four nitrogen fertilization levels (440 kg ha–1, 387 kg ha–1, 336 kg ha–1, and 294 kg ha–1, respectively) were implemented in 2023 through root box and field experiments to investigate root growth dynamics and nitrogen accumulation in cotton fields. …”
