The invention discloses a method for lowering the content of
chromium in tobacco. According to the method for lowering the content of
chromium in the tobacco,
piriformospora indica is grown on the root of the tobacco in a parasitic manner so as to reduce heavy
metal chromium residuals in the tobacco. The method for lowering the content of chromium in the tobacco specifically comprises the steps that (1) ZnSO4 7 H2O in an original Kafer culture medium is replaced by nanometer material
zinc oxide, and 10 mg of nanometer material
zinc oxide is added to each
liter of culture medium; (2) activated
Piriformospora indica is inoculated to the Kafer culture medium obtained in the step (1) to be cultured, then mycelia are collected,
piriformospora indica
hypha liquid is prepared, the prepared
piriformospora indica
hypha liquid is then poured to the root of a tobacco
seedling, and root-
irrigation treatment is conducted, so that the piriformospora indica is colonized on the root of the tobacco
seedling; (3) after the piriformospora indica is colonized on the root of the tobacco
seedling, the tobacco seedling is transplanted to a land, and then conventional water and
fertilizer management is conducted to make the tobacco seedling grow normally. According to the method for lowering the content of chromium in the tobacco, the growth condition of the tobacco can be improved, the amount of heavy
metal chromium which transfers from the root of the tobacco to the overground part of the tobacco is reduced, the heavy
metal chromium residuals in the tobacco are reduced, the method is easy to master, the cost is low, the method is easy and practical, environmental friendliness is achieved, and secondary
pollution can not be caused.
