Dose-optimized microbial inoculants reshape grape rhizosphere microbiota and enhance fruit quality.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Soil serves as a critical habitat for plant growth, harboring diverse microbial communities that profoundly influence soil quality, plant health, and fruit quality. This work aimed to evaluate the potential of microbial inoculants application at varying doses on improving soil health, enhance plant stress resistance, and promote fruit quality.

Methods

Rhizosphere microbial communities across five treatment groups-CK (no inoculant), T1 (45 L/ha), T2 (90 L/ha), T3 (135 L/ha), and T4 (180 L/ha)-were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing on the Illumina NextSeq platform. Concurrently, soil physicochemical properties from the rhizosphere, alongside physiological and biochemical parameters of grape leaves and fruit quality indicators, were measured for all treatme
