Abstract: Relationship between mineral elements contents in the soil and flue\|cured tobacco leaves in Henan was analyzed. Results showed that soil total P and Mg contents as well as water soluble Cl contents in Zhoukou and Shangqiu was the highest， whereas soil total K，Ca，Fe and Mn contents in Sanmenxia was higher than other places. Soil total K and Fe contents in Jiyuan were the highest， and soil total Mn in Nanyang was the highest. Soil total P， Mg， Fe and Mn contents in Zhengzhou was the lowest and total K and Ca contents in Xinyang as well as water soluble Cl content in Sanmenxia was the lowest. The variation coefficients of soil total P， Ca， Mn contents as well as water soluble Cl contents were higher than 40%. Potassium contents in tobacco leaf of most samples were lower than the standard. The contents of P， Ca， Mg， Cl， Fe and Mn contents in tobacco leaf were appropriate. Variation coefficients of Mn， Cl， Fe and Mg contents were the highest. The contents of soil total K， Ca and Mg had the biggest effects on the seven mineral elements contents in flue\|cured tobacco leaves， and soil total P， Fe， and Mn took the second place， and soil water soluble Cl content had the lowest effect．
