In order to understand the distribution of available zinc in tobacco-planting soils in Wenshan and its influential factors and to provide a basis for the reasonable application of zinc fertilizer, 276 soil samples were collected with the help of GPS. Available zinc contents, spatial distribution and influential factors were analyzed by geostatistics method with geographic information system ( GIS) and classical statistical method. The results showed that the average available zinc content ranged from 0.20 to 8.17 mg/kg, with a mean of 1.93 mg/kg and a variation coefficient of 70.47%. 70.12% of the soil samples were in the appropriate level (1.00—5.00 mg/kg), which was very fit for tobacco planting. Available zinc content was in an order of Malipo>Xichou>Wenshan>Maguan>Yanshan>Qiubei>Guangnan. Available zinc content increased with the increase of organic matter content, showed a parabolic trend with the increase of altitude. There were extremely significant differences in available zinc contents among the different altitude and organic matter grades. Available zinc content was lowest in pH of 6.5—7.5, and was higher in the acid and alkali soils. The most of tobacco-planting soil in Wenshan is red soil, followed by yellow soil. Available zinc content in different soil types existed extremely significant differences, zinc content was highest in paddy soil but was lowest in purple soil. So, available zinc content of tobacco- planting soils in Wenshan on the whole meets the requirement of high quality tobacco leaves, but the region with zinc deficiency should strengthen the application of zinc fertilizer and organic fertilizer to improve available zinc content in soils.
