Abstract:

To determine the effect of water-retaining agent on the drought resistance of flue-cured tobacco under different mulching measures, we used the flue-cured tobacco ‘Honghua dajinyuan’ as material, to study the effects of straw mulching (T1), plastic film mulching + water-retaining agent (T2), straw mulching + water-retaining agent (T3), double mulching with straw and plastic film + water-retaining agent (T4) and plastic film mulching (CK) on soil physical properties and enzyme activity, and growth and development, economic characters and quality of flue-cured tobacco. The results showed that compared with CK, by applying water-retaining agent (T2, T3, T4) under different mulching measures, the water content of soil was increased and the bulk density of tobacco planting soil was reduced, the proportion of > 0.25 mm large aggregate structure in soil, especially the proportion of 2-5 mm and 0.5-1 mm water stable aggregate, was increased, the activities of soil sucrose and urease were improved, the agronomic properties of flue-cured tobacco were relatively good, the yield and output value of flue-cured tobacco was relatively high, and tobacco quality was slightly improved. The effect of water-retaining agent on the drought resistance of flue-cured tobacco under different mulching measures were different, the overall performance of T2 and T4 were better than that of T3, and T4 had the best economic characters, while T2 had better sensory quality.

Key words: water-retaining agent, mulching, soil physical properties, enzyme activity, economic characters, quality of flue-cured tobacco
