A field experiment was conducted by using the traditional plate count method and modern terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) method for exploring the effect of monosodium gultamate wastewater co-applied with inorganic fertilizer on the ecological environment of watermelon rhizospher soil. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of different treaments. Purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of different treatments, i.e. T1 (100% of nitrogen was provided by urea), T2 (10% and 90% of nitrogen was provided by monosodium glutamate wastewater and urea, respectively), T3 (30% and 70% of nitrogen was provided by monosodium glutamate wastewater and urea, respectively) and T4 (50% and 50% of nitrogen was provided by monosodium glutamate wastewater and urea, respectively) on microbial populations, contents of microbial biomass carbon (MBC), microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN) and root exudates, as well as bacterial community structure diversity in the rhizosphere soil of watermelon. The results indicated that comparison with T1 treatment, T3 treatment significantly increased the numbers of bacteria, actinomycetes and total microorganism, as well as MBC and MBN contents in the rhizosphere soil, showing 53.59%, 39.80% and 45.59% increases in bacteria populations and contents of MBC and MBN, respectively, while it had no significant influence on fungus populations. At the same time, T3 treatment obviously increased the root exudates contents in compared with T1treatment. However, in T2 and T4 treatments, less effect on microbial populations and root exudates contents was observed than that in T3treatment. In addition, a significant difference was found in T-RFLP profiles of different treatments. T3had the highest shannon index and margalef index, which were increased by 91.79% and 97.31% compared to T1 treatment, respectively. In the meantime, the shannon index and margalef index in T3 treatment were obviously higher than those in T2 treatment, but had no significant difference with T4 treatment. In conclusion, monosodium glutamate wastewater co-applied with inorganic fertilizer can improve the ecological environment of watermelon rhizosphere soil, and the collocation proportion between monosodium glutamate wastewater and inorganic fertilizer is the vital factor.
