Objective: Effects of soil inorganic elements on the content of inorganic elements and baicalin in Scutellaria were examined. Method: The content of baicalin and inorganic elements in medicinal material and inorganic elements in soil were determined

and the data obtained was analysed by SPSS 13.0. Result: Scutellaria accumulated phosphorus

zinc and selenium. The transfer ability of phosphorus

zinc and selenium was more strongly than other elements. Selenium had significantly positive correlation between its soil content and medicinal material content. In medicinal material

Baicalin had significantly positive correlation with phosphorus and negative correlation with zinc and selenium. Conclusion: The content of elements in Scutellaria used this experiment was low

especially microelement. The content of many elements in soil had less effect on their content in medicinal material. The content of baicalin may be affected by the inorganic elements content of medicinal material.
