Abstract
Bio-organic fertilization is a widely used, eco-friendly, sustainable approach to increasing plant productivity in the agriculture and fruit industries. However, it remains unclear whether the promotion of fruit productivity is related to specific changes in microbial inoculants, the resident microbiome, and/or the physicochemical properties of rhizosphere soils. We found that bio-organic fertilizers alter soil chemical properties, thus manipulating specific microbial taxa and functions within the rhizosphere microbiome of pear plants to promote yield. Our work unveils the ecological mechanisms which underlie the beneficial impacts of bio-organic fertilizers on yield promotion in fruit orchards, which may help in the design of more efficient biofertilizers to promote sustainable fruit production.
