Study on Element Contents in Tobacco Leaves from Different Positions of Tobacco CB-1

[Objectives]This study was conducted to clarify the differences and abundance or deficiency of various elements in tobacco leaves from different positions of CB-1 in Zhangping City,so as to guide the production of precision fertilization.[Methods]The element contents of CB-1 were determined by an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer.[Results]In terms of the contents of carbon,the upper leaves(45.73%)were significantly higher than the cutters(41.53%),and the lower leaves(43.15%)had no significant differences from both of them.For the content of oxygen element,there was no significant difference between the cutters(44.77%)and the lower leaves(43.40%),both of which were significantly higher than the upper leaves(40.75%).The contents of nitrogen,phosphorus,sulfur,boron and nickel all increased with the increase of the position,and they were significantly higher in the upper leaves than in the cutters and lower leaves.The contents of potassium,calcium,magnesium,chlorine and silicon all decreased with the increase of the position,and the lower leaves were significantly higher than the cutters and upper leaves.The contents of aluminum,titanium and chromium increased significantly with the increase of the position.The contents of strontium,zirconium and arsenic decreased significantly with the increase of the position.The element contents of tobacco leaves had significant or extremely significant differences between different parts of CB-1 in Zhangping City mostly.The contents of nitrogen,potassium,calcium,sulfur,chlorine,molybdenum and nickel in tobacco leaves were appropriate,and the contents of manganese and iron were too high,while the contents of phosphorus and copper were slightly low.The contents of magnesium,silicon,boron and sodium were too low.[Conclusions]This study can guide targeted fertilization and regulation of element contents in the tobacco leaves from different parts in production,and is of great significance to improving the production,quality and industrial availability of CB-1.
