To investigate the tobacco field soil nutrient spatial variability and using the spatial variability to guide the partition management,selecting the fluecured tobacco planting typical area,Yuxi city,Yunnan province as the study area,the technical ideas of “the analysis of the spatial variability of soil nutrients inspatial distributionfertilizer recommendationpartitioning formulation” was formed.Based on soil nutrients data in tobacco growing area,using geographic information system(GIS),and geostatistics method,the variability and spatial distribution of soil alkali hydrolysable nitrogen,available phosphorus and available potassium of 0~20 cm tobacco farming layer was studied.Taking township as the management unit,according to the tobacco field soil fertility evaluation and nutrient management index system,the recommendation application amount of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium fertilizer was calculated.Using cluster analysis method,combined with the fluecured tobacco nutrient management which said that the core of the elements is nitrogen and quality element is potassium,the Yuxi fluecured tobacco nutrient management of five management areas,five fertilizer formula,and two dressing recipes were set up.Research showed that soil available nutrients of tobacco fields in Yuxi showed moderate spatial variability,the fitting model matched with exponential model,sources of variation were from structural factors and factors such as fertilization.The variation of soil available phosphorus was the maximum,which was higher than those of available potassium and available nitrogen,this was resulted from the farmer habit of applying relatively stable amount of nitrogen and potassium fertilizer but not phosphorus.More than 67% of the soil alkali hydrolysable nitrogen,available phosphorus and available potassium content were at high or very high level.The recommended amounts of nitrogen,phosphorus and potassium were lower than the average amount of Yunnan province tobacco nutrient management by 11%.5 tobacco nutrient management zones and the corresponding base fertilizer and top dressing formula were put forward,in order to guide as different fertilizer and partition management.
