Abstract:

This study aimed to the explore effects of organic selenium fertilizer application at different growth stages (seedling stage, flowering stage, and swelling stage) and application frequencies on the yield, quality and bulb selenium content of Lanzhou lily, providing theoretical support for the efficient production of selenium-enriched Lanzhou lily and precise application of selenium fertilizer. The experiment was conducted over two years using Lanzhou lily as the material. Organic selenium fertilizer was applied at 3000 mL/hm2 during the seedling, flowering, and swelling stages, either alone or in combination, to evaluate the effectiveness of different selenium nutrition enhancement techniques. The results indicated that applying selenium fertilizer on the foliage more than twice a year could significantly increase the yield of Lanzhou lily (P<0.05), with the highest increase reaching 34.53%. However, foliar application of selenium fertilizer did not significantly affect the morphological indicators and quality of Lanzhou lily (P>0.05). Additionally, foliar application of selenium fertilizer significantly enhanced the selenium content in lily bulbs (P<0.05), achieving a selenium-enriched effect after accumulating two applications, and selenium content gradually increased with the number of applications. In conclusion, it is recommended to apply organic selenium fertilizer once during the seedling, flowering, and swelling stages each year throughout the entire growth period of lilies to improve the yield of Lanzhou lily and promote the accumulation of selenium in lily bulbs, thereby facilitating the production of selenium-enriched lilies.
