Abstract:
For clarifying the nutrient characteristics of tobacco planting soil in Huili, a major tobacco planting county in Sichuan, the available contents and spatial distribution characteristics of microelements in tobacco planting soil in Huili and their influencing factors were analyzed by combining geostatistics with GIS method. The results showed that the soil contained rich available Fe, Mn, Cu and moderate Zn and Mo; while the available content of B was only 0.26 mg/kg, which was deficient in general. The optimal models for Fe and Mo in soil were exponential, for Mn, Cu, Zn and B in soil were spherical, the nugget coefficient ranged from 0.500 to 0.695, all belonged to medium spatial variability, it indicated that the microelements were affected by both structural and random factors. Viewing from spatial distribution charts, 50.7% of the soil contained available B at an extremely low level, especially in Muji Village and Haichao Village more attention should be paid to B supplement. The content of available Zn had strong spatial autocorrelation, only in 1/3 of the soil samples available Zn content was higher than 1 mg/kg, it implied that available Zn would become deficient in the whole area. The contents of available Fe and Cu were rich, but still 6.9% and 2.2% of samples were at a lower level, mainly in Aimin Village and Luchang Town.
