Abstract

Abstract:

This study investigated the synergistic ameliorative effects of Trichoderma harzianum in combination with different soil amendments on saline-alkali soils, and their impact on cotton growth. A pot experiment was conducted with six treatments: control (CK), T. harzianum alone (T), T. harzianum combined with biochar (BT), humic acid (HT), organic fertilizer (AT), and microbial inoculant (MT). The effects on soil physicochemical properties and the physiological performance of cotton were comprehensively assessed. Results showed that the AT treatment (combination with organic fertilizer) reduced soil pH by 2.58%, significantly outperforming other treatments. It also markedly increased the contents of soil organic matter, available phosphorus, available potassium, and alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen, indicating that the amendments significantly improved soil physicochemical conditions. Regarding plant growth parameters, the AT treatment significantly enhanced plant height (+36.40%), stem diameter (+49.50%), aboveground biomass (+68.67%), and belowground biomass (+89.29%), representing the highest increases among all treatments. Physiological and biochemical analyses revealed that T, AT, and MT treatments significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) in cotton leaves, while reducing the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), soluble protein, and proline, indicating enhanced stress resistance. Correlation analysis further demonstrated significant relationships between soil properties and cotton growth indicators, providing a scientific basis for optimizing soil amendment strategies. In conclusion, the combination of T. harzianum and organic fertilizer (AT treatment) was most effective in improving soil quality and promoting cotton growth. These findings offer scientific support and practical guidance for the efficient utilization of saline-alkali soils and the sustainable production of high-quality cotton in Xinjiang.
