On the saline soils of the Republic of Karakalpakstan, field studies were carried out to identify the effectiveness of minimizing inter-row cultivation of cotton. According to the results of the study, it was established that when several operations are combined in one pass of the tractor, fuel costs are significantly reduced, soil compaction is reduced, and good conditions are created for the normal growth and development of the cotton root system. With inter-row processing, it is possible to combine inter-row cultivation with cutting furrows before vegetative irrigation.
