Abstract
The effect of trace element(B,Mo,Zn,Fe) fertilizers on alfalfa quality was studied by leaf surface spraying the trace element fertilizers at different levels in the arid and semiarid areas of the northwestern China.The results show that B fertilizer significantly increased the crude protein content by 8.44%,reduced the content of crude fiber by 10.8% at the concentration of 0.25%.Mo fertilizer at the concentration of 0.06% significantly increased the content of crude protein by 13.07%,reduced the content of crude fiber by 32%,and remarkably increased the total phosphor by 28.5%.Zn fertilizer at the concentration of 0.2% markedly increased the content of crude protein,total nitrogen,total phosphor,total potassium by11.9%,8.5%,7.1%,and 49.4%,respectively.Fe fertilizer at the concentration of 0.6% increased the contents of crude protein,total phosphor,total potassium,and crude ash by 7.2%,10.7%,21.1%, and 7.6%.In summary,spraying of B,Mo,Zn and Fe in regreening and branching stages could effectively improve the quality of alfalfa and the best concentrations of B,Mo,Zn and Fe were 0.25%,0.06%,0.2% and 0.6%,respectively.

8 of 13 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.
