- Abstract
Selenium is essential for both humans and animals, and must be taken with nutrients in sufficient amount. Concentration of selenium in the food for both human and animal is desired between 100-1000 μg kg-1. This study conducted field experiments on the Harran Plateau to investigate; the effect of soil applications in form of selenite on maize grain yield and Se content; the efficiency of soil application; the relationship between Se content in maize grain and Se application rate; and the effect of Se fertilisers on macronutrients and other micronutrients in grain maize. In this study, DKC 5783 F1 which is grown intensively in the area as a grain maize variety, sodium selenite was used as selenium source with eight levels (0-5-10-15-25-50-75-100 g Se ha-1). Sodium selenite was applied to the soil in liquid form before sowing. Sodium selenite application didn’t affect the total Ca, Mg, S, Zn, B, Mo and Se content of grain, but it affected N, P, K, Fe, Cu and Mn content, statistically.
