【Objective】The relationship between soil moderate and micro nutrients in tobacco growing areas and quality of tobacco leaves was investigated to provide basis for reasonable fertilization in tobacco plantations. 【Method】The correlation between soil moderate and micro nutrients and quality of tobacco leaves was analyzed using canonical correlation analysis. 【Result】Available Fe, available Cu and rapidly available S contents were correlated with total sugar, nicotine, total N and reducing sugar content of leaves. The average available Fe, available Cu and rapidly available S content were recorded as 32.89, 1.69 and 31.42 mg/kg, respectively. Rapidly available S, exchangeable Ca, available zinc and water soluble B were found to be correlated with petroleum ether, browning reaction products, cembranoid decomposing products, carotenoid decomposing products and neophytadiene components of aroma. The average available Ca, available zinc and soluble B content were recorded as 13.44, 1.91 and 0.24 mg/kg,respectively. 【Conclusion】Soil nutrients were canonically correlated with chemical components and aroma composition of tobacco leaf. Due to general deficiency of moderate and micro nutrients in soils of Luzhou tobacco growing area, their concentration should be kept higher in fertilizers for improving quality of tobacco leaf in Luzhou tobacco growing areas.
