- Title
Colloidal Selenium Availability to Three Pasture Species in Pot Culture.
- Authors
PETERSON, P. J.; BUTLER, G. W.
- Abstract
WITH the discovery of the importance and even the necessity of trace amounts of selenium in animal nutrition1, and with the recognition that the response of animals to the administration of selenium can vary2-5, it has become important to know more about the state of selenium in the soil and its uptake by plants. The first investigators were chiefly concerned with the uptake of selenium from seleniferous soil, with the accumulation of selenium by plants, and with the toxicity of these plants to domestic animals6. It has been suggested that there is a selenium cycle in nature7, but there is no evidence to substantiate some parts of this cycle, particularly where grassland is concerned.
