Abstract

The rhizosphere microbial community in vineyard soil plays a crucial role in maintaining soil ecological function and improving grape yield and quality. Integrated nutrient management (INM), through the rational combination of chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers, and bio-fertilizers, not only meets the nutrient requirements of grapes but also improves the soil environment and promotes the proliferation of beneficial microorganisms. This paper systematically reviews the types and functions of rhizosphere microorganisms, influencing factors, and their correlation with grape growth and quality, focusing on the relationship between INM and the rhizosphere microbial structure in vineyards. Results show that a rational INM model can significantly increase soil organic matter and fertility, promote the abundance of nitrogen-fixing and phosphorus-solubilizing functional microorganisms, thereby improving the rhizosphere microbial structure. Specifically, reducing chemical fertilizer application and applying liquid organic fertilizer can significantly increase soil microbial biomass (C, N) and enzyme activity, improving grape yield and quality; the combined application of organic and chemical fertilizers can increase the number of beneficial microorganisms such as actinomycetes in the soil. Methodologically, this study integrates traditional soil physicochemical testing, high-throughput sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis to perform multi-faceted analysis of vineyard rhizosphere samples. The conclusion indicates that INM can optimize rhizosphere microbial structure and enhance soil ecological stability, but further long-term, multi-regional integrated research is needed. Therefore, this study proposes future research recommendations (such as long-term multi-site trials and molecular mechanism studies) and management policy recommendations (such as promoting organic fertilizers and strengthening soil monitoring).
