Whether it is a dry place like the southwest, or a Mediterranean climate or humid area, you can try it. As long as the soil moisture content and root water absorption are well managed, the drip irrigation system works in water-scarce or rainy areas. If the soil is fragile or degraded, it is also good to use organic fertilizer and no-till methods, which not only have high yields but also protect the environment. In addition, new technologies such as photovoltaic irrigation are also worth a try, especially in places with sufficient sunshine and suitable terrain, where there are more development prospects. Future research can also start from several directions. First, we need to figure out the critical point of water and fertilizer shortage in each region and find the most appropriate management method, which will not waste resources and can achieve stable and high yields. Secondly, more advanced technologies can be used, such as soil moisture sensors and nutrient monitoring devices, to make planting more precise. Third, more research should be done on the long-term effects of organic fertilizers and comprehensive fertilization on soil, microorganisms and the entire ecology. Fourth, it is also possible to analyze whether it is cost-effective to use renewable energy for irrigation in different environments. Finally, it is necessary to understand how irrigation, fertilization and climate change affect each other. Only by constantly exploring methods suitable for each place can kiwifruit cultivation be both high-yield and environmentally friendly. Acknowledgments We are grateful to Dr. W.
