| Abstract: | Abstract Experiments with foliar application of selenite to barley crops were carried out on a number of Danish farms during the years 1975 to 1979. The plants were treated at the growth stage of Feekes 4–6 with 2.5, 5 and 10 g Se/ha, and analysed for selenium at harvest. The conclusion from the results is that spraying of 3–5 g Se with a detergent at about Feekes 5 is a safe, cheap, and effective way of preventing an outbreak of selenium deficiency in livestock mainly feeding on cereals. |
