For non-negative numbers $x$, $y$, and $z$ the claim is that:
$$(xy+yz+zx)^3+9 x^2 y^2 z^2 geq 4 (x+y+z)(xy+yz+zx)xyz$$
Without loss of generality, one may assume that $x+y+z=1$ so that $xyzlefrac127$ and $xy+yz+zxlefrac13$. I have not seen how Schur's inequality is helpful.

Why you have assumed $x+y+z=1$?

@SufaidSaleel If you expand both sides of the inequality, all terms are of degree 6, so if the claim is true for some triple $(x,y,z)$ then it is also true for $(ax,ay,az)$ for any constant $a$. Therefore it is sufficient to prove the claim in the case $x+y+z=1$.

Let $xy=c$, $xz=b$ and $yz=a$.
Thus, we need to prove that
$$(a+b+c)^3+9abcgeq4(a+b+c)(ab+ac+bc)$$ or
$$sum_cyc(a^3-a^2b-a^2c+abc)geq0,$$ which is Schur.
