Abstract

Cotton production is the main branch of agriculture in Uzbekistan, where extensive scientific and practical experience has been accumulated in cotton-growing agro-technologies. The unique soil and climatic conditions of the country create natural challenges for cotton cultivation. Early spring precipitation and the early onset of cold weather in autumn—such as snowfall or rainfall in early October—complicate both the ripening and harvesting of cotton. Therefore, in Uzbekistan’s cotton production, the breeding of early-maturing cotton varieties and the development of intensive agrotechnical measures hold great importance. Although almost all of the cotton varieties currently cultivated in the republic are early-maturing, due to the strong influence of weather conditions, harvesting often extends until November, making the production of high-yield and high-quality cotton problematic. Considerable scientific research has been conducted in this regard. In particular, in recent years, the widespread application of physiologically active substances in Uzbekistan’s cotton production has yielded positive results in producing early, abundant, and high-quality yields. These physiologically active substances may be applied to the soil, treated on cotton seeds prior to sowing, or used during the vegetation period. They are of natural origin and non-toxic, and therefore are considered to occupy a specific niche in the production of organic cotton. This article examines the use of the physiologically active substance Tevevit BOMS during soil preparation, applied at rates of 300–1000 kg/ha without the use of chemical mineral fertilizers, and its effects on seed germination, growth and development of cotton plants, as well as the prospects of producing early, abundant, high-quality, and environmentally friendly cotton.
