Rain-shelter cultivation promotes grapevine health by altering phyllosphere microecology in rainy areas.

ABSTRACT: Grapes are a globally significant fruit crop, but their cultivation is often challenged by leaf diseases, which limit industrial productivity. Rain-shelter cultivation has emerged as a sustainable agricultural strategy to mitigate these challenges. This study examines the effects of rain-shelter cultivation, compared to open-air cultivation, on the microclimate within the grape canopy and the microbial ecology of the grape phyllosphere. The research focused on two cultivation methods: rain-shelter and open-air cultivation. Key environmental factors such as temperature, relative humidity, and light intensity within the grape canopy were measured during the growing season. The study also explored how these conditions influence the biodiversity, stability, and functional roles of phyllosphere
