The effects of cropping systems on selenium and glucosinolate concentrations in vegetables

摘要: Selenium (Se) and glucosinolates has been found to have beneficial effects for human health. The most common way increase Se in plants is through using inorganic fertilizers however, concerns over environmental contamination by increased the demand sustainable produced foods. Thus, aim of this project was evaluate efficiency different crop management strategies (catch crops, intercropping) concentrations rather than application agrochemicals. Catch crops used successfully reduce sulphur nitrogen leaching nutrient availability succeeding, similar on may be expected. Nitrogen interaction influence glucosinolate plants. controlled interspecific competition a useful tool manipulating balance soil enhance plants. Our results suggested that an alternative method selenium but further work required develop efficient cropping systems. Catch did not incorporation plant materials In addition intercropping careful selection species design needed ensure development both otherwise effect will limited.
