Impacts of Different Weeding Methods on Weeds Control in Tobacco Fields in Anshun City

[Objective] The paper was to explore weed control measures in tobacco fields in Anshun City. [Method] Different treatments on weed control were conducted in tobacco fields in Anshun City, Guizhou Province, from 2017 to 2019. [Result] Various treatments had no negative effect on tobacco plant growth in the field, and had different degrees of control effects on five dominant weeds, including Digitaria sanguinalis, Setaria viridis, Fagopyrum dibotrys, Commelina communis and Chenopodium album. White mulching film and 50% butralin·clomazone EC 160 m L/667 m^(2) + white mulching film had the worst performance, which had extremely significant or significant differences with other treatments. There was no sig-nificant difference among most treatments, and the overall effects were comprehensive(multi-factor) treatment > double factor treatment > single factor treatment. [Conclusion] Combination control is recommended in practical tobacco production.

Available Contents and Spatial Distribution of Soil Microelements of Tobacco Fields in Liupanshui City

The contents of soil microelements can affect the growth, yield and quality of tobacco, but it is not clear of the status quo of soil microelements in tobacco fields in Liupanshui city. In this study, soil samples of the plough layers (0 - 20 cm) were collected from January to March in 2021 from 500 typical tobacco fields in Liupanshui City (100, 180 and 220 fields in Zhongshan, Shuicheng and Panzhou, respectively), the particle size composition, pH, the contents of organic matter (OM), available boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn) were measured and discussed. the results show that the mean contents of B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo and Zn are 0.92, 2.55, 66.47, 47.26, 0.39 and 3.96 mg/kg, respectively, and among which, B, Cu and Zn are at the high grades while Fe, Mn and Mo are at the very-high grades. There are significant differences in B, Fe and Zn among the three regions, while Cu is significantly different between Zhongshan and Shuicheng, Mn is significantly different between Panzhou with Zhongshan and Shuicheng, and Mo is significantly different between Zhongshan and Panzhou. The proportions of fields deficient in microelements are relatively low, no field is Fe-deficient, and the fields deficient in Mo, B, Cu, Zn and Mn are only account for 10.40%, 9.40%, 7.40%, 2.80% and 2.00% of the total fields respectively. B-deficient fields (green and light green colors, the same below) are mainly scattered in the northwest of Zhongshan and in the north and south of Panzhou, Cu-deficient fields mainly in the middle of Shuicheng and Panzhou, Mn-deficient fields mainly in northern Zhongshan, central Shuicheng and north of Panzhou. Mo-deficient fields are mainly in the middle of Shuicheng and the middle and east of Panzhou, while Zn-deficient fields are mainly in the middle of Shuicheng and the middle and east of Panzhou. Altitude is negatively correlated with Mn (P < 0.05), pH is negatively correlated with B (P < 0.05), Fe and Mn (P < 0.01), and OM is positively correlated with Fe and Zn (P < 0.01). Sand is negatively correlated with B (P < 0.05), Mn and Mo (P < 0.01), but positively correlated with Zn (P < 0.01). Silt is positively correlated with Mo (P < 0.05);clay is positively correlated with B (P < 0.05) and Mn (P < 0.01), but negatively correlated with Zn (P < 0.01). In conclusion, most of the fields do not need to apply micro-fertilizers in Liupanshui, but the fields deficient in microelements should be considered to use the corresponding fertilizers.
