Popis: Siberian wildrye (Elymus sibiricus L.) is a perennial and self-fertilizing forage grass that support animal husbandry and environmental sustenance in the world. In order to explore influence of nitrogen(N) application in Siberian wildrye seed production, the field experiments were conducted to evaluated the effect of different N treatments (of 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kg/hm2) on dry matter, N accumulation, transport and utilization, yield components and seed yield of Siberian wildrye DJ-01, which was generated and stored in our lab. The results showed that the 90 kg/hm2 group significantly improved Fertile tillers m−2, spikelets per fertile tiller, 1000-grain weight and seed yield. Furthermore, the seed yield of 90 kg/hm2 group reached 899.3 kg/hm2 and elevated 45.6% compared with 0(CK) group. Moreover, we found that Siberian wildrye exhibited more advantages in dry matter and N translocation. The increment of grain N depended on pre-anthesis dry matter translocation (Pre-DMT) and pre-anthesis N translocation (Pre-NT), but not post-anthesis dry matter accumulation (Post-DMA) and post-anthesis N uptake (Post-NU) to seed yield. With the increase of N, N partial productivity and N absorption efficiency gradually decreased. All data showed the 90 kg/hm2 had the best effects on seed yield components, seed yield, dry matter accumulation (DMA), N accumulation and N efficiency. These results provide an ideal strategy to expand the plant area of Siberian wildrye.
