This study investigates the impact of petroleum mulch combined with preemergence herbicides (diuron, prometryne, CIPC, and DCPA) on weed control, soil moisture, temperature, and cotton yield. Results showed that petroleum mulch, especially when used with herbicides, significantly reduced weed growth, preserved soil moisture, regulated soil temperature, and improved cotton yield. The findings recommend integrated use of petroleum mulch and herbicides as an effective strategy for optimizing cotton production under challenging climatic conditions.
