Abstract:

To explore the occurrence regularity of tobacco bacterial wilt and provide theoretical basis for disease prevention in the respect of soil fertility and enzyme activity, the difference of rhizosphere nutrients and enzyme activities between healthy tobacco and diseased tobacco which suffered from bacterial wilt in Guizhou Province and the effects of climate on this difference were studied with multi-site randomized complete block design in three climate zones named mountain-hill areas of southeastern Guizhou (mid-subtropical monsoon humid climate), the hilly basin of central Guizhou (northern subtropical monsoon humid climate) and the plateau mountainous area of northwestern Guizhou (subtropical monsoon humid climate). The results showed that compared with the healthy, rhizosphere soil pH, available phosphorus and urease activity of the diseased were significantly reduced by 4.66%, 25.98% and 21.92%, respectively; while organic matter, CEC, total nitrogen, alkali hydrolyzable nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, available potassium and catalase activities were significantly higher, respectively, and the rising trend was more obvious in the humid subtropical monsoon climate at high altitude. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the correlation between tested indexes of the healthy was more and stronger than the diseased. Factor analysis made the conclusion more clear that the lower the pH, urease and phosphatase activity and the higher CEC, total nitrogen, total phosphorus available potassium and catalase activities, tobacco might be more susceptible to bacterial wilt. The stepwise discriminant analysis indicated that the discrimination model whose discriminant accuracy was 100% was constructed by soil pH, CEC, total nitrogen, alkaline hydrolysis nitrogen and available potassium, which could predict the susceptibility of tobacco plants to bacterial wilt in unknown soil. In conclusion, tobacco rhizosphere soil CEC, total nitrogen, alkaline hydrolyzable nitrogen and available potassium were higher and soil pH was lower, which might be more susceptible to tobacco wilt disease. Regulation of rhizosphere nutrients balance will play an important role in improving soil suppressive ability to bacterial wilt and constructing disease-resistant soil.
