Abstract:

In this study, selenium-enriched vermicompost and selenium-enriched amino acids foliar fertilizer which were transformed by worthworms cow muck and sodium selenite, to explore the possibility of the organic selenium instead of inorganic selenium and application methods of organic selenium fertilizer in Chinese chive. The results showed that application of selenium-enriched vermicompost, it was promoted significantly in The content of leaf length, yield, vitamin C, chlorophyll, selenium, etc., as the same as application of sodium selenite and vermicompost. And compared with the application of sodium selenite and vermicompost, application of selenium-enriched vermicompost or selenium-enriched amino acids foliar fertilizer, results showed that it has been significantly increased on the length of leaf, yield, nitrogen, potassium, zinc. Therefore, selenium-enriched vermicompost or selenium-enriched amino acids foliar fertilizer would be kinds of new selenium fertilizer, which were cheaper, efficient, non-toxic and environmentally friendly.
