Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Appropriate foliar Se application significantly increased alfalfa herbage yield.
- Intervention effect Herbage yield was highest in the Se 50 treatment, raised by 1121 kg hm-2 compared with Se 0.
- Intervention effect The highest Se content was increased by 9096.42% compared with the Se 0 treatment.
- Intervention effect The highest Se accumulation was increased by 9258.31% compared with the Se 0 treatment.
- Association Se content and accumulation in alfalfa were positively correlated with the rates of Se application.
- Intervention effect Appropriate Se application markedly increased phosphorus absorption in alfalfa.
- Intervention effect The highest P content, in the Se 100 treatment, was raised by 23.53% compared with Se 0.
- Intervention effect The highest P accumulation, in the Se 100 treatment, was raised by 40.75% compared with Se 0.
- Intervention effect Se application had no significant effect on calcium uptake by alfalfa.
- Intervention effect Appropriate Se application significantly increased crude fat content of alfalfa, highest in the Se 100 treatment.
- Intervention effect The highest crude fat content was raised by 2.18% compared with Se 0.
- Intervention effect The highest crude fat yield was raised by 125.35 kg hm-2 compared with Se 0.
- Intervention effect Foliar Se application had no remarkable effects on contents of crude protein, ash and fiber.
- Recommendation Se fertilizer is conducive to improving herbage yield and quality of alfalfa.
