Bio-organic fertilizer coupled with moderate deficit irrigation optimizes cotton root system architecture and enhances salt tolerance via rhizosphere amelioration in arid saline-sodic soils

Soil salinization severely constrains cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) productivity in arid irrigated regions, while prolonged shallow drip irrigation exacerbates root superficialization and limits deep soil water utilization. However, the mechanistic pathways by which coupled wat...
