The invention provides a determination method for the activity of superoxide dismutase in tobacco leaves damaged by pesticides. The determination method comprises the following steps that 1, reagents are prepared, wherein the phosphate buffer, the extracting medium, the methionine solution, NBT, EDTA-Na2 and the riboflavin solution are prepared; 2, an enzyme solution is prepared from the tobacco leaves; 3, the activity of a superoxide dismutase sample is determined; 4, a tobacco is transplanted into pesticidal soil of which the quinclorac adding concentrations are 1.04*10<-3> mg / kg, 2.08*10<-3> mg / kg, 4.17*10<-3> mg / kg, 8.33*10<-3> mg / kg and 1.67*10<-2> mg / kg in the period that the tobacco has 5-6 true leaves, and the activity of the superoxide dismutase in the tobacco leaves is measured on the 7 day, the 14 day, the 21 day, the 28 day and the 35 day by adopting the step 1 to the step 3 separately. Accordingly, the problems that in the prior art, few influences that the SOD is subjected to and few changes of the SOD in the tobacco leaves damaged by quinclorac are known, and determination is not precise enough are solved.
