Abstract:

In order to explore the appropriate nitrogen application rate of high-quality flue-cured tobacco varieties in Xuanwei tobacco area, ‘Yunyan 97’, ‘Yunyan 301’ and ‘Zhongchuan 208’ were used as test materials and the field trial comparison method was adopted to study the differences of economic traits, physical characteristics, appearance quality, chemical composition and sensory evaluation quality of the three varieties under different nitrogen application rates in 2020. The results showed that ‘Yunyan 97’ had the most harmonious chemical composition when the nitrogen application rate was 82.5 kg/hm2, and the appearance quality, physical characteristics and sensory evaluation quality of flue-cured tobacco were the highest when the nitrogen application rate was 97.5 kg/hm2. At the same time, the comprehensive quality was the best under both the two nitrogen application rates, and the economic benefit was the highest when the nitrogen application rate was 97.5 kg/hm2. ‘Yunyan 301’ had better performance when the nitrogen application rate was 67.5 kg/hm2, 97.5 kg/hm2 and 112.5 kg/hm2. Relatively low nitrogen application rate was beneficial to improving the appearance quality and physical characteristics of ‘Yunyan 301’, while, high nitrogen application rate was conducive to increasing the chemical composition coordination and economic benefits of tobacco leaves. When the nitrogen application rate of ‘Zhongchuan 208’ was 97.5 kg/hm2, the field growth performance of the variety was good, the economic benefit was high, and the output value was 72883.5 yuan/hm2. The comprehensive quality of tobacco leaves was superior, and the comprehensive score was 0.72. To sum up, in Xuanwei tobacco production area, the optimum nitrogen application rate for ‘Yunyan 97’ and ‘Zhongchuan 208’ is 97.5 kg/hm2, and the suitable nitrogen application rate for ‘Yunyan 301’ should be determined by soil conditions of the tobacco plot, which can be from 67.5 to 112.5 kg/hm2.
