Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect T2 increased 1000-grain weight by 13.79% relative to CK.
- Intervention effect Other treatments showed no significant yield improvement.
- Intervention effect All Se treatments elevated total Se content across plant tissues.
- Intervention effect T1 produced among the highest grain Se accumulation, about 9–10 fold above CK.
- Intervention effect T2 produced among the highest grain Se accumulation, about 9–10 fold above CK.
- Observation T1 had the most efficient Se translocation from spikes to grains and husks.
- Observation T1 yielded the highest SeMet concentration.
- Intervention effect T2 reduced SeMet content relative to T1.
- Intervention effect T3 reduced SeMet content relative to T1.
- Intervention effect T4 reduced SeMet content relative to T1.
- Intervention effect Se application enhanced Ca, Mg, Zn and Fe levels.
- Intervention effect Se application reduced As, Cd and Pb levels.
- Intervention effect T2 reduced Cd concentration to 0.032 mg/kg.
- Recommendation The authors recommend T2 to balance yield, Cd safety and Se biofortification.
