Abstract

Impacts of selenium fertilizer(Na2SeO3·5H2O) and selenium-cobalt combining fertilizer(Na2SeO3·5H2O + CoSO4·7H2O) on the underground and aboveground growth of alfalfa(Medicago sativa L.) were studied by leaf-spraying of two kinds of fertilizers during different growth periods of alfalfa in Yellow River bottomland of Zhengzhou,Henan Province.The results show that selenium fertilizer(57 g·hm-2) and selenium-cobalt combining fertilizer(408 g·hm-2) applied one time per 15 day for successive 4 times after the plant height reached to 15 cm significantly promoted the net photosynthetic rate and dry matter production rate of during ramification to budding stage(P0.05).Single application of selenium fertilizer increased the effective photosynthetic leaf area and decreased plant respiration loss.Selenium fertilizer and selenium-cobalt combining fertilizer promoted the growth of root system and root nodule of alfalfa in depth of 0~20 cm soil and favored the nutrients and water utilization of top soil but went against the growth of root system in deep soil under 30 cm and decreased the drought hardiness of alfalfa.

8 of 11 groups shown: named compounds and organisms first, then groups whose results differ (checked claim by claim), then those with positive and negative results, then the smaller groups.

Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. A paper counts as positive when any of its claims in the group is positive.
