Abstract
Background
Efficient agronomic approaches should be developed to alleviate iron (Fe) deficiency in lime-rich soils.
Aims
The present study aimed to investigate the efficiency of eco-friendly synthesized Fe-aminochelates in remediating Fe deficiency and improving the yield and nutritional quality of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), compared to FeSO₄ in calcareous soil.
Methods
Fe (glycine)2 [Fe (Gly)2] and Fe (methionine)2 [Fe (Met)2] aminochelates were synthesized and characterized via a CHN analyzer, H1 NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. In a field experiment, Fe-aminochelates and FeSO₄ were applied using three methods (priming, fertigation, and foliar spray) at various plant growth stages.
Results
The application of [Fe (Gly)2] and [Fe (Met)2] through different methods significantly improved the biomass yield, nutritional quality, and yield attributes, compared with those of FeSO4. Compared with the control, foliar application of [Fe (Met)2] increased seed yield (73.9%), oil yield (125.8%), and seed protein content (60%). In addition, antioxidant enzyme activities, total soluble protein (TSP), and seed nutrients such as Fe, N, and S concentrations, as well as the Fe concentration in leaves, also increased in response to [Fe (Gly)2] and [Fe (Met)2] application, whereas the N/S ratio decreased with increasing seed oil content.
Conclusions
These results suggest that the application of Fe-aminochelates may be a promising way to promote Fe biofortification and overcome Fe deficiency under calcareous conditions.
期刊介绍:
Established in 1922, the Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (JPNSS) is an international peer-reviewed journal devoted to cover the entire spectrum of plant nutrition and soil science from different scale units, e.g. agroecosystem to natural systems. With its wide scope and focus on soil-plant interactions, JPNSS is one of the leading journals on this topic. Articles in JPNSS include reviews, high-standard original papers, and short communications and represent challenging research of international significance. The Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science is one of the world’s oldest journals. You can trust in a peer-reviewed journal that has been established in the plant and soil science community for almost 100 years.
Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (ISSN 1436-8730) is published in six volumes per year, by the German Societies of Plant Nutrition (DGP) and Soil Science (DBG). Furthermore, the Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (JPNSS) is a Cooperating Journal of the International Union of Soil Science (IUSS). The journal is produced by Wiley-VCH.
