    Abstract:

    【Objective】This study aimed to investigate the regulatory differences of various organic fertilizers on the rhizosphere microorganisms, nematode communities, and nutrient absorption of jackfruit, so as to select suitable organic fertilizers to construct a healthy soil microecology, and provide a theoretical basis for targeted regulation of soil quality.【Method】Malaysian No.1 grafted seedlings were used as experimental materials, and the latosol formed by granite was used as test soil in this study. The experiment was designed to have six treatments: CK (no fertilizer), DF (soybean flour), YF (sheep manure), JF (chicken manure), NF (cow manure), and CF (chemical fertilizer only), for comparing the effects of different fertilizers on the biomass accumulation, nutrient absorption, and soil microenvironment of jackfruit. 【Result】The application of organic fertilizer generally promoted the biomass accumulation and nutrient absorption of jackfruit, and increased the soil pH and organic matter. NF significantly improved the proportion of soil organic matter, available nitrogen, and potassium nutrients, but significantly reduced the proportion of soil available phosphorus compared to other treatments. The application of JF also significantly increased the contents of soil available nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium; however, YF treatment induced the weakest effect among all organic fertilizer treatments. Also, the YF treatment had the highest number of soil nematodes and nematode abundance in each trophic group, followed by the NF treatment. The Shannon-Weiner diversity index and evenness index of soil nematodes in the organic fertilizer treatment were significantly higher than those in the CK and CF treatments. In addition, the soil microbial communities under different fertilization treatments all exhibited relatively active metabolism towards carbohydrates, amino acids and carboxylic acids, while their metabolic capabilities towards polymers, phenolic acids, and amides were weaker. The diversity and evenness index of soil microbial community structure in the DF treatment were significantly higher than those in other organic fertilizer treatments. Mantel analysis showed a significant correlation between plant biomass, nematode community, nematode trophic groups, microbial carbon source utilization, and soil pH. Also, the Mantel analysis of nematode community, bacterial-feeding nematode, and omnivorous/predacious nematode with soil organic matter showed significant correlation. 【Conclusion】The application of organic fertilizer can promote the growth and nutrient absorption of jackfruit, increase soil organic matter, and improve soil microecology. Moreover, organic fertilizers from sheep and cow manure is beneficial for increasing the total number of soil nematodes and the number of nematodes in each trophic group, while soybean flour can enhance the activity of rhizosphere microorganisms and promote carbon source utilization. For practical applications, specific organic fertilizers or their combinations can be selected based on the basic soil conditions for targeted regulation of soil health, providing a theoretical basis for high crop yield and efficient resource utilization.
