Although green manure is widely adopted to ameliorate orchard soil degradation, species-specific modulation of postharvest storage trajectories and the quantitative fidelity of soil-to-fruit nutrient transmission have rarely been resolved for climacteric pear species. This study investigated how green manure species modulate fruit quality at harvest and during postharvest storage life and their underlying soil\u2013fruit linkages. Three preharvest treatments were imposed, as follows: control (CK), sweet clover (CM), and alfalfa (MX). Fruits were harvested and stored at 4 \u00b0C, with samplings at 1, 5, 10, 15, and 20 d. A critical quality transition was identified at 15 d, characterized by the concurrent peaking of soluble sugars, organic acids, vitamin C, and anthocyanins alongside an optimal sugar\u2013acid ratio. Beyond this inflection point, CM and MX diverged markedly: CM enhanced soluble sugar accumulation, anthocyanin retention, and ester volatile production\u2014most notably hexyl acetate, which increased over 14.4-fold\u2014thereby generating a pronounced fruity aroma bouquet. Conversely, MX sustained higher amino acid and vitamin C levels and conferred superior late-storage stability, evidenced by a three-fold lower coefficient of variation in the sugar\u2013acid ratio relative to CK. Partial-least-squares structural equation modeling (PLS\u2013SEM) revealed soil fertility as the principal exploratory associative factor of fruit quality, but the fidelity of soil-to-fruit transmission was species-dependent. MX exhibited the highest observed associative strength (R2 = 0.971), whereas CM exhibited attenuated transmission fidelity (R2 = 0.777), with network analysis further indicating that CM exhibited divergent associative patterns of key soil\u2013fruit correlations. These findings suggest that green manure identity is linked to postharvest quality through divergent soil\u2013fruit coupling pathways: alfalfa shows nutrient transmission efficiency and stabilizes nutritional quality, whereas sweet clover promotes sugar-aroma accumulation at the cost of reduced soil\u2013fruit conversion fidelity. Species-specific green manure selection thus offers a viable strategy for targeted modulation of postharvest traits in Korla fragrant pear.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biology15131070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]],"date-time":"2026-07-03T15:15:04Z","timestamp":1783091704000},"page":"1070","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of Green Manure Application on Postharvest Quality and Soil-to-Fruit Fertility Coupling in Korla Fragrant Pear (Pyrus sinkiangensis Yu)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-1788-0622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenyu","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Resources and Environment, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"},{"name":"Korla Fragrant Pear Research Center, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Korla 841000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongjie","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korla Fragrant Pear Research Center, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Korla 841000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minghao","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Resources and Environment, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiabao","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Korla Fragrant Pear Research Center, Bayingolin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Korla 841000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-1047-3957","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xing","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Resources and Environment, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhongping","family":"Chai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Resources and Environment, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi 830052, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zhang, Y., Cheng, Y., Ma, Y., Guan, J., and Zhang, H.
