To investigate the impact of organic fertilizer application on the soil structure of snap bean cultivation systems, this study employed a combined approach of field trials and physicochemical analyses to systematically evaluate the regulatory effects of various organic fertilizer treatments on the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil. The results indicate that the application of organic fertilizers significantly improved soil aggregate structure, reduced bulk density, and enhanced porosity and water-holding capacity, thereby optimizing the soil's physical environment. Regarding chemical properties, organic fertilizers effectively increased soil organic matter content and nutrient levels-specifically nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium-while also exerting a buffering effect on soil pH. Biological analyses revealed that organic fertilizers promoted an increase in both the abundance and diversity of soil microorganisms, enhanced soil enzyme activity, and improved the micro-ecological environment within the rhizosphere. Further validation through case studies demonstrated that the rational application of organic fertilizers not only contributes to the sustained improvement of soil structure but also significantly boosts both the yield and quality of snap beans. These findings provide a theoretical basis and practical guidance for the green, efficient cultivation of snap beans and for effective soil health management.
