Abstract:

To investigate the effects of different water-retaining agents on the bacterial community structure of tobacco-planting soil, as well as on the yield and quality of flue-cured tobacco, a field experiment was conducted. With no water-retaining agent applied as the control (CK), five treatments were set up: T1 (90 kg/ha commercial water retention agent), T2 (90 kg/ha long-acting potassium-type water retention agent), T3 [90 kg/ha self-made sodium carboxymethyl cellulose composite water retention agent (AM/CMC)], and T4 [self-made potassium humate composite water retention agent (AM/HAK) water retention agent] to examine the effects of different water-retaining agents on the nutrients, moisture content, and bacterial community structure, relative abundance of dominant bacteria, correlation of relative abundance of major phyla and soil chemical properties, yield and quality of flue-cured tobacco. The results showed that the effect of T4 was better, and the contents of soil moisture, organic matter, alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were increased by 15.62%, 19.73%, 19.86%, 5.08% and 30.65%, respectively, compared with CK 60 days after transplanting. Compared with T1 treatment, they increased 13.81%, 15.51%, 14.32%, 1.56%, 24.07%, and compared with T2 treatment, they increased 11.02%, 10.85%, 8.42%, 0.72%, 15.65%, respectively. After T4 treatment, soil bacterial Shannon index, ACE index and Chao1 index were increased relative abundance of compared to CK, and increased Proteobacteria and Chloroflexi; the relative abundance of the major bacterial phyla was significantly correlated with most of the soil factors. The application of AM/HAK improved the yield and quality of roasted tobacco. In conclusion, the application of AM/HAK can improve soil quality and bacterial community structure, and improve the yield and quality of flue-cured tobacco.
