Abstract:

The aim is to study the effects of two exogenous selenium applications on antioxidant enzyme activity, yield and selenium content of rice Oryza sativa L. cv. ‘Fuyuan No. 4’, determine the best way of selenium application and provide reference for developing selenium-rich agricultural products. In the low-selenium area of Ningxia (Yongning County), ‘Fuyuan No. 4’ was used as the experimental material, and selenium-rich micro-fertilizer capsule was used as soil base application, chelated selenium foliar fertilizer combined with selenium leaf fertilizer was sprayed at the key growth stage of rice. By means of mathematical statistics, the changes of antioxidant enzyme activity, yield and selenium content of rice treated with different exogenous selenium were analyzed. Respectively, MDA and POD activity of rice leaves were 41.17% and 35.98% higher than those of control at different growth stages, and significant differences were observed between the chelated selenium leaf fertilizer treatment and other treatments. The SOD activity in leaves increased first and then decreased, the difference between each treatment and the control group was significant, and that of the T3 treatment increased by 91.71%. The selenium content of stem, leaf and rice increased under different selenium treatments, the organic selenium content of rice accounted for 62.11%-80.96% of the total selenium content of rice. After variance analysis, the difference was significant, and the spraying effect was better than base application effect. From the heading stage to the filling stage, different exogenous selenium treatments had an effect on the activity of antioxidant enzymes in rice, which was related to the selenium concentration. In the low-selenium areas, exogenous selenium supplement could enrich selenium in rice plants, and the effect of applying selenium fertilizer on leaves was better than that of selenium enriched micro-fertilizer capsules. Moreover, the exogenous selenium treatment in the Se-deficient areas could improve the yield of rice to a certain extent, and increase the selenium content in rice leaves and grains.

Key words: exogenous selenium, rice, antioxidant enzyme activity, yield, selenium content
