Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted to study the growth of tobacco, quality and accumulation of Cd in tobacco leaves on Cd contaminated tobacco soil by adding different concentration biochar as the soil amendment. The results showed that adding biochar could promote the growth of tobacco in some sort, and the effect will be more significant with more biochar. Biochar application increased the contents of total sugar, N and K in tobacco leaves, however, it decreased the content of Cl. The content of nicotine in tobacco leaves increased firstly then decreased with the increase of biochar application rate in Cd1 soil, however, it had an increasing trend in Cd5 soil. The accumu- lation of Cd in tobacco leaves was decline by the application of biochar. Application 5 g/kg biochar on Cd1 and Cd5 soil decreased the Cd contents in leaves by 4. 40% and 6. 46%, respectively; Application 20 g/kg biochar on Cd1 and Cd55soil decreased the Cd contents in leaves by 58. 47% and 41. 22%, respectively.
