This study aimed to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and to reach sufficient yields and fiber quality withnatural soil conditioners in 2019 growing season in Amik Plain, Hatay, Turkey. The experiment was carried out usingrandomized complete block design with split-plot arrangement in 3 replications. The treatments consisted of two soilconditioners (leonardite and zeolite, 1000 and 2000 kg ha-1) allocated in the main plots, and 5 nitrogen doses (0, 50,100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) applied in the subplots. Soil conditioners and applied nitrogen doses had no significant effecton plant height, number of monopodia, number of sympodia, number of boll, seed cotton weight per boll, fiber fineness,fiber strength and 100 seed weight. However, ginning percentage was the only parameters that significantly affectedfrom nitrogen doses. The soil conditioner and nitrogen interaction was significant for yield and fiber length. Furtherstudies are needed to determine the effects of soil conditioner and nitrogen application on yield and fiber propertiesunder different soil and climate conditions.
