Abstract:

Effects of different selenium sources on the quality and content of nutritive element in pakchoi were studied. The results showed that each treatment of sodium selenite could increase the content of soluble sugar, free amino acid, and soluble protein in pakchoi leaves to varying degrees, and reduced the content of nitrate and crude fiber in pakchoi. All treatments of DL-selenomethionine could increase the vitamin C content of pakchoi leaves. After applying exogenous selenium, the selenium content of pakchoi plants increased with the increase of selenium concentration. Nitrate and soluble sugar, nitrate and soluble protein, crude fiber and vitamin C were extremely significantly negatively correlated. The results of principal component analysis showed that the order of the effects of the two exogenous selenium treatments on the quality of pakchoi was T2>T1>S2>T3>S1>S3>CK>T4>S4. The content of soluble protein and free amino acid of pakchoi treated with T2 were increased by 2.82 percent points and 107.14%, respectively, the content of nitrate was decreased by 51.21%, and the content of selenium in the shoots was 0.843 mg·kg-1. Comprehensive analysis showed that the effect was the best when sodium selenite was used as the source of selenium, and the concentration of Se was 0.5 mg·L-1.
