There are several ways to improve cotton yield in arid areas: first, give priority to breeding drought resistant varieties, such as' tamcot cd3h 'and' tx-cabucs-2-1-83 '; Second, adopt reasonable irrigation methods to control the amount and time of irrigation, especially at night and control the water temperature; Third, the proper use of treated wastewater as a source of water is both environmentally friendly and practical; Fourth, covering part of the ground in the field, combined with drought management in part of the root zone, is conducive to water conservation and cotton growth. These measures have practical significance for cotton production in arid areas. Through scientific seed selection, irrigation and water-saving treatment, farmers can reduce water pressure and improve output. These methods provide a feasible scheme for cotton planting in arid areas, and help to improve crop stability and ensure agricultural development.
