Effect of Saline-alkali Soil and Exogenous Amino Acids on Quality and
Yield of Tartary Buckwheat
Abstract
Salt-tolerant variety Chuanqiao No.1 and salt-sensitive one Chuanqiao
No.2 of Tartary buckwheat were used as experimental materials to study
the effect of saline-alkali soil and exogenous amino acids on quality
and yield of Tartary buckwheat. The results showed that Tartary
buckwheat in saline-alkali soil is more enrichment in calcium (Ca), iron
(Fe), zinc (Zn) and selenium (Se), and the Tartary buckwheat in
saline-alkali soil is more nutritious. Under appropriate amino acids
treatment, the seed protein and rutin content of Tartary buckwheat was
significantly increased, and the Tartary buckwheat quality could be
obviously increased. In particularly, the amino acids treatment could
significantly increase the Tartary buckwheat yield in saline-alkali
soil, and the effect of exogenous Asp and Glu on yield increase was the
best in salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive variety, respectively, and that
in salt-tolerant variety was increased more. The effect of exogenous
amino acids on quality and yield varies obviously in two Tartary
buckwheat varieties. For less amount of amino acid used per hectare and
lower price, it is very suitable for popularization and application in
saline-alkali soil.
