Abstract：In order to decrease the rot bolls of cotton intercropped with garlic and reach the purpose of good quality , high yield and high benefit , the interaction of pruning method and plant density on yield and rot boll were studied in this paper .The results showed that simplified pruning and lower plant density could signif-icantly decrease the rot boll rate .The rot boll rate decreased 11 .01 percentage points through simplified prun-ing at 33 000 plants per hectare compared with that through normal pruning at 45 000 plants per hectare .The combination of simplified pruning and 33 000 plants per hectare could obtain the highest lint cotton yield as 2 035 kg per hectare, which increased by 14.6% compared with the combination of normal pruning and 27 000 plants per hectare .
