Effect of Saline 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 soil and exogenous amino acids on quality and yield
of Tartary buckwheat. The results showed that Tartary buckwheat in
saline soil is more enrichment in calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and
selenium (Se), and Tartary buckwheat in saline soil is more nutritious.
Under appropriate amino acids treatment, the seed protein and rutin
content of Tartary buckwheat was significantly increased, and the
quality of Tartary buckwheat could be obviously increased. In
particularly, the amino acids treatment could significantly increase the
yield of Tartary buckwheat in saline 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 soil.
