Impact of “dry sowing and wet emergence” water regulation on cotton soil water and salt dynamics, root growth and yield
In conclusion, DSWE technology maintains optimal soil moisture levels, thereby improving root system development, while simultaneously leaching salts from the rhizosphere and reducing oxidative stress. Under the current experimental conditions, the W2F2 treatment emerges as the most effective strategy for regulating seedling emergence water, effectively integrating water conservation, salinity reduction, and seedling vigor enhancement.
