Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Rational Se and Co applications promoted net photosynthetic efficiency.
- Intervention effect Rational Se and Co applications enhanced dry matter production from ramification to florescence.
- Intervention effect Rational Se and Co applications increased alfalfa hay production from ramification to florescence.
- Intervention effect Combined 570 g/ha Se and 765 g/ha Co increased alfalfa hay by 8.06%.
- Intervention effect Combined 570 g/ha Se and 765 g/ha Co increased 1000-grain weight by 12.85%.
- Intervention effect Co alone or with Se promoted root nodule growth and volume accumulation at 0–20 cm depth.
- Mechanism The authors attribute enhanced nitrogen fixation to increased root nodules after Co or combined application.
- Recommendation The authors recommend rational basal Se and Co applications for hay and seed production.
