The correlations between soil nutrients in Baoshan and the contents of chemical components in fluecured tobacco were analyzed with descriptive statistics analysis and canonical correlation analysis.The results indicated that:1)Soils in tobaccogrowing in Baoshan were generally rich in nutrients but the nutrients were not evenly distributed.The contents of total sugar and reducing sugar were higher,the contents of nicotine and total N were suitable,the contents of K and Cl were lower in fluecured tobacco;2)Within a certain range,there was significant or extremely significant positive correlation between the contents of nicotine,total N in fluecured tobacco and the contents of alkalihydrolyzable N,available B in soil,a significant or extremely significant positive correlation between the contents of total sugar,reducing sugar,ratio of potassium to chlorine,ratio of total sugar to nicotine,ratio of total N to nicotine in fluecured tobacco and the contents of available P,available Mg in soil;3)In order to improve the quality of fluecured tobacco in Baoshan,it was necessary to control N fertilizer,apply more P and trace elements and promote the utilization of K fertilizer in soil.
