Abstract

We studied the effects of light quality on growth and development,major economic properties and quality characters of flue-cured tobacco by using flue-cured tobacco Yunyan 87 as the test material.We used colored films of similar transmittance to conduct shadings treatment on the bird-nest stage and at the topping period of flue-cured tobacco until the end of growth.Results showed blue light could promote the reproductive growth of tobacco plants and delay maturation of tobacco leaves.While red,yellow and white light did not influence the development progress of tobacco significantly,and the growth period of tobacco would be extended when the shading was conducted at topping period.Light quality has the strongest significant effect on the growth of tobacco leaves,the influence of red and blue light was stronger during the earlier stages of growth,while the influence of yellow and white light was stronger at later growing periods.Agronomic traits of the tobacco plant achieved to the best overall performance under natural light and red film.Red light could improve the growth of the tobacco stem and leaves,as well as blue and yellow light could restrain the growth of tobacco stem and reduce leaf area.Increasing the proportion of red light on the tobacco during the earlier growing stage improved the major economic properties of cured tobacco leaves,the effects of blue light became more obviously important during the latter stage of growth.The proper combination of red light and yellow light may play an important role in improving the tobacco leaf quality in different growing period.Increasing the proportion of red light on the tobacco during the earlier growing stage reduced the content of nicotine and protein in cured tobacco leaves as well as improved the carbohydrate content and the smoking quality of cured tobacco leaves,however,which was found to negatively affect the potassium oxide content.While enhancing yellow light proportion during later growing periods could obviously improve the smoking quality of cured tobacco leaves,and its chemical compositions were more harmonious.
