2. Exogenous Ca supply significantly increased the Ca content in tobacco leaves. Treatment P4
(spraying 1‰ EM-Ca amount 2 ml with 30 g MP3005 per plant once in 3 days during tobacco
root extending stage) obtained the highest flue-cured tobacco yield of 2473.5 kg/hm
2
, and the
highest irrigation water use efficiency with 0.618 kg/m
