Implication

Observational soil analysis reveals age-dependent rhizosphere shifts in Actinidia arguta, indicating targeted microenvironment optimization accelerates high-yield fruiting phases.

Key Points

  • Establish a phenological framework classifying Actinidia arguta fruiting stages based on tree age and rhizosphere soil dynamics to optimize management and accelerate high-yield production.
  • Collected rhizosphere soil samples from A. arguta trees across five age groups: 2, 3, 5, 6, and 8 years.
  • Measured soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), moisture content (MC), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), available nutrients, and urease (URE) enzyme activity.
  • Analyzed soil properties across age stages using multiple comparison testing and principal component analysis.
  • Rhizosphere soil dynamics defined four distinct stages: early fruiting (years 2–3), early high-yield (year 5), high-yield (year 6), and peak yield (year 8).
  • Soil moisture peaked at year 6, while MBC dropped 35% between years 3 and 5 before increasing 13% at year 6, alongside a 5% increase in URE activity from year 5 to 6.
  • Fruit-bearing phases significantly correlated with soil pH, EC, MBC, URE activity, total phosphorus, available potassium, and available nitrogen.
