[Objective] To understand the status of tobacco-planting soil in Wannan Area.[Method] 139 soil samples were collected and analyzed from two cities of Wannan Anhui Tobacco District and 30 tobacco-producing townships covered by five tobacco stations in four tobacco-producing counties (districts), Huangdu, Chengqu, Wuhu, Nanling and Jingxian.[Result] The average soil pH was 5.87 in Huangdu, 5.62 in Chenqu, 5.77 in Wuhu, 5.76 in Nanling, 5.44 in Langxi and 5.61 in Jingxian; the average organic matter content in tobacco-growing soils was 22.80 g/kg in Huangdu, 26.23 g/kg in Chenqu, 27.19 g/kg in Wuhu, 31.42 g/kg in Nanling, 22.65 g/kg in Langxi and 30.72 g/kg in Jingxian; the mainly distribution range of total nitrogen content was 1.00-2.00 g/kg, the soil total nitrogen of 41.18% was 2.00 g/kg, the main distribution range of alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen content was more than 120 mg/kg.[Conclusion] Soils grown in tobacco-planting areas in Wannan Area are mainly acidic to slightly acidic, they are basically within the optimum range, soil organic matter is abundant.The soil of total nitrogen and alk. hydrolyzable nitrogen content is higher, available potassium content is low, the soil fertility characteristics had greater differences among different tobacco stations.
