Long-term soil salinization easily contributes to soil hardness, soil nutrient imbalance, and soil microbial diversity reduction, resulting in low rice yields in the salinized fields, and microbial remediation is one of the important measures to improve salinized soil. To verify the effect of biofertilizer based on halotolerant microorganisms on promoting rice growth and alleviating saline stress, this study discussed the effects of biofertilizer on soil microbial diversity and community structure and analyzed the correlation between the formation of microbial community structure and soil nutrient factors in the salinized field. The result, in comparison with applying inorganic fertilizer (referred to as CK), showed that notably increased soil available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, and rice paddy yield (
