Abstract

Abstract: To carry out the suitability evaluation of green and selenium (Se)-rich planting in Guanzhong area, 74 maize plant samples and 74 rhizosphere soil samples were collected. Our results showed that all soils in the Guanzhong area were clean and pollution-free, but only cinnamon soil and alluvial soil can be divided into green Se-rich land. Moreover, there is safe and no heavy metal exceeded standard in maize seed samples in the Guanzhong area, but only Se content of maize seeds grown in cinnamon soil and alluvial soil reached the Se content standard of Shaanxi Se-rich food (> 0.05 mg/kg) according to soil environmental quality standard, the national standards for food safety, natural selenium-rich land demarcation and identification, and Se-rich food standard of Shaanxi province. These results indicated that cinnamon soil and alluvial soil in the Guanzhong area was very suitable for planting natural, green and safe Se-rich crops.
