Humic acid (HA), biochar-based microbial agent (M) and vermicompost (V) have been shown to improve soil structure and increase crop yields. However, the combined effects of these amendments on cotton growth, photosynthetic characteristics, yield and fiber quality in saline-alkali soils remain unclea...
