The transition towards biologically based agricultural technologies has become a priority in the arid regions of Central Asia, where soil degradation, salinity, and low organic matter content significantly limit crop productivity. This article examines the application of the biopreparation Microzim in agricultural crops, with special emphasis on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivation under the environmental and soil conditions of the Bukhara region of Uzbekistan. The study presents detailed results on the effects of Microzim on soil microbial activity, nutrient availability, plant development, and cotton yield in saline and low-humus soils typical for the region. Field experiments conducted between 2021–2024 in the Bukhara, Kagan, Jondor, and Peshku districts demonstrated that the application of Microzim significantly improves soil biological properties and enhances cotton productivity by 12–22%, depending on the level of soil salinity and irrigation regime.
