In thisstudy,the effects of selenium on theyield,seleniumcontent,accumulation and distribution in differentparts and quality of ginger were studied by spraying selenium onleaves.The aim of this study was to explore the nutritional characteristics of selenium in ginger and provide the basis for the application of Se-enrichedginger.The results showed thatspraying selenium significantly increased the selenium content in different parts ofginger,and had a significant effect on theyield ofginger. Spraying selenate at trident stage and expansion stage made the selenium content in each part of ginger 5.5～8.2times and 2.8～4.1 times higher than that of seleniterespectively.When selenite wassprayed,the selenium content of gingerpeel was higher than that of gingerpulp,when selenate wassprayed,the selenium content of ginger pulp was higher thanthat of gingerpeel.Whenever and whichever the selenium wassprayed,the organic transformation rate of selenium in gingercould get over57%.When selenium was sprayed at expansion stage the proportion of organic selenium in ginger was higherthan that of spraying at trident stage.The contents of Vc,reducing sugar and gingerol of ginger were all increased aftersprayingselenium,therefore the application of selenium could improve the quality ofginger.
