Effects of Foliar Application of Selenium Fertilizer on Photosynthetic Characteristics,Economic Traits,Selenium Content in Seed Kernels and Yield of Peanut
In order to investigate the effects of selenium on the photosynthetic characteristics,economic traits,selenium content in seed kernels,and yield of different peanut varieties in different regions,the varieties'Zhenonghua 25','Zhenonghua 28','Zhenonghua 29',and'Zhenonghua 33'were used as materials.Se-lenium fertilizer was foliar-applied after the peak flowering stage in Zhengzhou,Jiaozuo and Nanyang.The re-sults showed that foliar application of selenium fertilizer increased the chlorophyll content,photosynthetic rate,and transpiration rate of peanut leaves.It enhanced the main stem height,lateral branch length,number of full pods per plant,weight of 100 pods,weight of 100 kernels,kernel yield percentage,selenium content in the ker-nels,and the yield of both pods and kernels.
