【Objective】 The main reason for the aggravation of root rot disease is to increase the pathogenic microorganism in the plough layer in the long-term continuous cropping. Deep loosening can improve the structure of the plough layer and promote the root system to root down, so as to significantly reduce the occurrence of soil borne diseases. The purpose of this study is to study the effect of mulching drip irrigation combined with deep loosening on soil environment and root rot of cotton fields in oasis. 【Method】 Three patterns of subsoiling 30, 40 and 50 cm (S30, S40, S50) were set up in Awati County of Akesu City, with traditional tillage as control (CK) to study the effects of root rot index, soil water content, root morphology, root activity and yield components on root rot. 【Result】 Compared with traditional tillage, subsoiling effectively reduced soil bulk density, increased soil water storage capacity, and increased soil storage capacity. The decrease of disease index was significantly related to the decrease of soil bulk density, the increase of soil moisture content and the increase of root activity. Among them, subsoiling decreased the incidence index of root rot by 7.0% - 26.0%, and S40 treatment was the best, the incidence index decreased by 26.0% compared with traditional tillage. With the increase of the depth of subsoiling, the soil bulk density decreased in turn, 2.4%-10% lower than that of the control. There was a linear correlation between the depth of subsoiling and the main morphological indexes and vigor of roots. Compared with the traditional cultivation, the root length increased by 4%-34.6%, the root surface area increased by 13.1%-44.8%, the root volume increased by 9.2%-40.6%, and the root activity increased by 7%-42.9%. Finally, the lint yield of S40 was 22.2%, 15.7% and 2.5% higher than those of CK, S30 and S50, respectively. 【Conclusion】 Based on the experimental study, the deep loosening combined with film mulching drip irrigation in the cotton area of southern Xinjiang had a good effect of water storage and moisture conservation, disease control and yield increase, which was beneficial to cotton growth. Considering the control effect and operation cost, the deep loosening 40 cm treatment was suggested to be used as an ideal agricultural control measure of root rot in production.
