The effect of repeated and intercropping crops on cotton yield was studied under the meadow-gray soil conditions of the Jizzakh region, located in the central part of Uzbekistan. After the winter wheat harvest, conditions were established with and without repeated cropping, where soybean was planted as the repeated crop. Against this background, sainfoin and clover were grown as intercrops, both separately and in mixed combinations. In spring, the intercrops were either mowed leaving 15–20 cm of green biomass or incorporated into the soil without mowing. The study investigated the changes in cotton yield as influenced by these treatments.
