Abstract

This experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications in 2011-2012 growing season. The experimental factors were Selenium in four levels 0, 6, 12 and 18 g ha-1 and salicylic acid in three levels 0, 100 and 200 mg L-1. Results showed that foliar application of selenium at rate of 12 and 18 g ha-1 decreased ion leakage by 11.6 and 18.8% compared with control, respectively. The treatments interaction effects showed that maximum grain yield equal to 1687.6 kg ha-1 was recorded from 200 mg L-1 salicylic acid along with 18 g ha-1 selenium that increased by 30.79% compared with control. The highest selenium concentration equal to 2119 ppb was obtained from 100 mg lit-1 salicylic acid along with 18 g ha-1 selenium that increased by 3.9 times compared with control. The maximum grain protein equal to 20.8% belonged to treatment of 100 mg L-1 salicylic acid along with 12 g ha-1 selenium that increased by 3.8% compared with control.
