contents In this work, we investigate the dynamics of an inhomogeneous coupled nonlinear Schrodinger system with quadratic-type interactions. Such systems arise naturally in nonlinear dynamics and mathematical physics, particularly in nonlinear optics, plasma physics, and wave propagation in inhomogeneous dispersive media. We establish a sharp criterion characterizing the dichotomy between global existence and finite-time blow-up of solutions to the associated initial value problem. This criterion is formulated in terms of conserved quantities, namely mass and energy, measured relative to the ground state solutions of the corresponding elliptic system. The analysis combines variational methods, conservation laws, and sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg-type inequalities to obtain local and global well-posedness results in both subcritical and intercritical regimes. Our results extend and unify previous studies on single and multi-component nonlinear Schrodinger equations, providing a general analytical framework applicable to a broad class of coupled systems with spatially inhomogeneous nonlinearities and quadratic growth.
