The integration of inorganic and organic fertilizers is increasingly being recommended to address the demand for sustainable cotton cultivation and to mitigate the ecological impacts of reliance on inorganic fertilizers. However, the effects of combined fertilization on soil quality, cotton growth, yield, and their interaction mechanisms, remain unclear. A 2-year field trial was conducted, incorporating five fertilization treatments, to evaluate the influence of these treatments on soil quality, cotton growth, and yield. The results revealed that integrating organic fertilizer with reduced inorganic fertilizer usage significantly boosts cotton yield by enhancing soil quality and also increases agricultural productivity. It presents a promising approach for optimizing crop yields while fostering sustainable agricultural practices.
