摘要： Optimizing the efficiency and effectiveness of light utilization is crucial for increasing cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yields. However, how to increase light use efficiency and yield by improving canopy structure has not been fully verified and quantified through field trials, especially at different test sites. To explore this issue in greater depth, split-plot field experiments were conducted from 2019 to 2021 in Dongping and Jinxiang counties, Shandong, China. The effects of different planting densities and cotton varieties on the leaf area index (LAI), PAR interception rate (In), photosynthetically active radiation-use efficiency (PARUE), plant nutrient uptake, and seed cotton yield in a cropping system in which cotton was planted directly after garlic (Allium sativum L.) harvest were studied. The results revealed that increasing the planting density from the lowest value of 6.8x10(4) plantha(-1) to 11.3x10(4) plantha(-1) resulted in increases of 4.4-14.7 % in the cotton LAI, 2.5-12.4 % in the net photosynthetic rate (Pn), 5.0-6.8 % in the PAR interception rate, 16.0-53.2 % in the PARUE, and 5.2-13.4 % in the seed cotton yield. Notably, compared with those of Demian 15, the Lumian 532 variety presented greater LAI, Pn, PAR interception rate, PARUE, nutrient uptake, and seed cotton yield at D11.25 in the 2020 experiment in Jinxiang County. Specifically, on D11.25, Lumian 532 had the highest seed cotton yield, reaching 3939.0 kgha(-)(1). The LAI had a direct positive effect on nutrient uptake in cotton, with a value of 0.8. In addition, according to the Mantel test (p < 0.05), the primary driving factor influencing seed cotton yield was the Pn. This factor was significantly and positively correlated with the PAR interception rate and seed cotton yield (p < 0.01). Additionally, the PARUE was most significantly influenced by planting density (R=0.82, p < 0.01), with an increase of 2.0x10(-4) gMJ(-)(1) for each additional planting density. In conclusion, increasing the planting density of direct seeded short-season cotton plants after garlic harvesting can increase cotton light interception and utilization efficiency and improve plant nutrient uptake. This increase can result in increased seed cotton yield. Ultimately, the Lumian 532 variety performed optimally at D11.25. These results are essential for improving and managing cropping systems involving the planting of cotton in the Yellow River Basin of China and similar regions.
