ABSTRACT: The article presents the data of a long-term experience on the reproductive capacity of the soil during the permanent cultivation of cotton, which has been carried out for 96 years at the Institute of Breeding, Seed Production and Agrotechnology for Growing Cotton in the Kibray district of the Tashkent region. The article presents the results of analyses by determining the content of humus, from which it can be seen that the decrease in humus was more marked on the control variant without fertilizers, and the amount of humus decreased after 20 years compared to the initial indicator by 11.4 t/ha, after 40 years 16 46 t/ha, after 60 years by 19.05 t/ha, after 80 years by 26.29 t/ha and after 96 years by 29.17 t/ha. It was also determined by the decrease in humus content in option 2, where NPK 250:175:125 kg/ha was applied annually, respectively: 6.487 t/ha; 9.225 t/ha; 10.09 t/ha; 16.95 t/ha; 19.65 t/ha; with an annual application of 30 t/ha of manure + 25 kg/ha of P2O in option 1, respectively: 0.335 t/ha; 3.683 t/ha; 11.40 t/ha; 22.44 t/ha; 32.58 t/ha. In addition, the article also provides data on the yield of cotton by options for permanent cultivation. It was determined that in the control variant, the yield decreased from 16.8 centners per hectare to 9.9 centners per hectare; in the variant where NPK was applied every year 250:175:125 kg/ha was 31 - 34 c/ha, where 30 t/ha of manure + 25 kg/ha P2O 29 - 32 c/ha were used every year.
