“…Cotton is one of the world's most important agricultural crops, cultivated in more than 60 countries, with China, India, the United States, Pakistan, and Brazil accounting for more than 80 % of global production (SHAHBANDEH, 2021;ABRAPA, 2021). The product with the greatest commercial interest is fiber, but the use of crop grains, which provide about 10 % of the harvest's gross profit, depending on relative lint prices (SANTOS et al, 2020), is important for production of oil and animal feed (CORDEIRO et al, 2022). When the cotton seed yield is added to the lint, the harvest rate rises to around 60 % (CONSTABLE; BANGE, 2015).…”

“…When the cotton seed yield is added to the lint, the harvest rate rises to around 60 % (CONSTABLE; BANGE, 2015). Brazil has higher cotton yield in rainfed systems, with fiber yields greater than 40 % (SANTOS et al, 2020;CORDEIRO et al, 2022) and the crop's productive potential is maximized in fertile soils with high levels of organic matter, deep soils with an adequate balance between water availability and soil aeration, (SANTOS et al, 2020). Some ancient cotton species evolved in very dry environments and can survive long periods of water deficit, while the dominant commercial species, Gossypium hirsutum, is native to tropical regions and responds positively to water supply (CHIAVEGATO, 2009;CONSTABLE;BANGE, 2015;GWATHMEY et al, 2016).…”

“…Water deficit from the vegetative stage to the opening of the first flower increased the drop of buds and changed the distribution of bolls on the plant, according by Echer et al (2020). In this way, aspects of the soil's physical, chemical, and biological health will have an impact on fiber yield in this way, and these conditions must be properly diagnosed in order to minimize and prevent impacts on the cotton crop (KULKARNI et al, 2010;SANTOS et al, 2020;RAMOS et al, 2021).…”

Intensive exploitation of soils has resulted in physical, chemical, and biological degradation as the demand for agricultural commodities, including cotton, has grown. Physical characteristics of the soil are those that are directly linked to the supply of water, nutrients, and air, as well as the establishment of roots for good agricultural crop development and yield. In this context, soil compaction is one of the most serious environmental issues caused by conventional agriculture. Cotton plant, which is highly sensitive to water stress and lack of soil aeration, is directly impacted by this type of degradation, which results in reduced root system development, affecting water and nutrient absorption, and causing damage to overall plant and crop yield. Soil compaction has been shown to reduce cotton yield in several studies; for example, the majority of the southeastern cotton-growing regions in the United States, which make up the majority of the U.S. Cotton Belt, have compacted soils and 66 % of cotton farmers in Australia were affected by soil compaction, while other research shows a 27 % yield loss for the crop in these conditions. On the other hand, most studies carried out in systems that aim to reduce soil compaction, have shown that improvements in soil physical properties related to decompaction result in an increase in cotton plant yield.
