【Objective】The present paper aimed to clarify the comprehensive soil fertility status of pitaya orchards in Hainan province, and the spatial distribution and changing trend of soil nutrients in pitaya orchards in Hainan province were analyzed and predicted by means of survey sampling and statistical methods, so as to provide the basis for scientific fertilization and soil management of pitaya orchards.【Method】60 soil samples were collected from pitaya orchards in the main producing areas of Hainan province.Soil pH, organic matter, available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, exchangeable calcium, exchangeable magnesium, available copper and available zinc were used as evaluation indicators.Inverse distance weight interpolation method（IDW） was used to analyze the spatial distribution of each index, and used the factor analysis method combined with IDW to evaluate and predict the comprehensive soil fertility of the pitaya orchards in the survey area.【Result】The orchard soil in the survey area was neutral and slightly acidic, and 50% of the soil samples, pH were lower than 6.5; The organic matter content was moderately low, and some areas of Ledong and Sanya were insufficient; The average value of alkaline hydrolysis nitrogen was only 79.17 mg/kg, and the soil in the survey area was relatively lack of alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen; The content of available phosphorus and available potassium were both high, and the average available phosphorus was 119.06 mg/kg, far exceeding its environmental risk threshold（60 mg/kg）; Orchards in the survey area the content of trace elements in the soil was relatively abundant. The IDW prediction map showed that the content of trace elements in Dongfang and Lingshui was high, and the content of Ledong and Sanya was low; Based on the analysis of the comprehensive score IFI, the results of the comprehensive fertility prediction of pitaya orchards in the entire study area using IDW showed that the eastern part of the study area, the comprehensive soil fertility of the orchards in the eastern and western regions of the study area was relatively high, while the soil comprehensive fertility of the orchards in the central part of Ledong and Sanya was relatively low.【Conclusion】The pitaya orchards in Ledong and Sanya still need to increase the input of organic fertilizers or increase the application of lime to improve the soil pH and supplement the medium and trace elements; The orchards in the survey area need to increase the input of nitrogen fertilizer and control the application of phosphate fertilizer.
