This integration can lead to better resource management, reduced environmental impact, and improved crop yields and quality. Future research should explore the synergies between organic practices and precision agriculture to develop holistic farming systems that maximize productivity and sustainability. 9 Concluding Remarks The comprehensive review of the impact of organic fertilization on kiwifruit productivity and quality reveals several key findings. Long-term organic fertilization significantly enhances the productivity of kiwifruit by improving rhizosphere microbial diversity and network complexity, which in turn promotes plant growth and fruit yield. Organic manures, such as dairy manure and vermicompost, have been shown to improve soil physicochemical properties, nutrient uptake, and fruit quality, including soluble solids content and leaf nutrient status. The combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers also positively affects growth, photosynthetic characteristics, and fruit quality, although the addition of organic matter does not always increase yield compared to inorganic fertilizers alone. Furthermore, organic fertilizers produced through quick artificial decomposition of biological wastes can significantly increase kiwifruit yields and enhance the nutritive components of the fruits. Balanced fertilization with N, P, K, and organic manure is crucial for maintaining soil fertility, which is essential for sustaining high yields and improving fruit quality. For kiwifruit growers, the adoption of organic fertilization practices offers several benefits. The use of organic amendments can lead to higher fruit yields and improved fruit quality, which are critical for market competitiveness and consumer satisfaction. Additionally, organic fertilization contributes to better soil health by enhancing microbial diversity and soil nutrient content, which can reduce the dependency on chemical fertilizers and promote sustainable farming practices. The agricultural industry can leverage these findings to develop and promote organic fertilization products and practices that support environmental sustainability and meet the growing demand for organic produce. Moreover, the integration of organic and inorganic fertilizers can be optimized to balance the benefits of both approaches, ensuring high productivity and quality while maintaining soil health. The future of organic fertilization in kiwifruit production looks promising, with substantial evidence supporting its positive impact on productivity, fruit quality, and soil health. Continued research and innovation in organic fertilization techniques, such as the development of fertilizers with small molecular organic compounds, can further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of organic amendments. Additionally, the adoption of integrated nutrient management strategies that combine organic and inorganic fertilizers can provide a balanced approach to fertilization, maximizing the benefits while minimizing potential drawbacks. As consumer demand for organic produce continues to rise, kiwifruit growers and the agricultural industry must embrace and invest in organic fertilization practices to ensure sustainable and profitable production in the long term.
