This study investigated the impact of various soil environmental factors on the growth and yield of Actinidia arguta (A. arguta) in Suwon, South Korea. By employing Pearson correlation analysis, we explored the relationships between soil properties such as pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic matter content, available phosphorus, available silicon, soil moisture, and soil temperature with A. arguta growth and yield. The results revealed that soil temperature and EC had the strongest positive correlations with A. arguta growth, while organic matter content exhibited a strong negative correlation with fruit yield. The high levels of available phosphorus emerged as a potential adverse factor affecting yield. These findings suggest that managing soil temperature, EC, and phosphorus levels is crucial for optimizing A. arguta productivity. Future research should focus on fine-tuning phosphorus levels and further investigating the interactions between soil factors to enhance A. arguta yield and sustainability.
