This study aimed to analyze the relationship between yield and related leaf and soil nutrients，by using correlation and path analysis of Castanea mollissima cv.‘yanshanzaofeng’ at Tangshan，Hebei Province of China over two growing seasons.17 chestnut orchards cultivated Castanea mollissima cv.‘yanshanzaofeng’ were selected in this study and the leaf nutrition content，soil available nutrients and yield were measured.A residual of 0.3901，0.2201，0.2381 and 0.1351 indicated the yield components measured in this study recorded more than 60% magnitude.Increasing contents of foliar N，P，Ca，Mn，Fe，Mg and improving soil N，Fe，Mn contents led to higher chestnut yield in high yield orchards. Higher status of foliar N，Ca，Mg contents and soil Ca，Mg contents led to higher yield in low yield orchards.In conclusion，soil application of N，P，Fe，Mn and foliar application of Ca，Mg will increase chestnut yield in high yield orchard.And in low yield orchard，soil application of N and foliar application of Ca，Mg，Fe，Cu will increase chestnut yield.
