Though Selenium (Se) is a nonessential micronutrient to plants, its presence under appropriate concentrations helps in the plant antioxidant system, thus benefiting crop growth and productivity. Considering need for acclimatization of crops due climate changes diversification energy matrix, this study aimed assess different forms application selenium (sodium selenite sodium selenate) suitable c...

Megaselia scalaris (Loew) (Diptera: Phoridae) is an important and ubiquitous terrestrial detritivore that consumes both animal and plant material. Because both plants and animals convert selenium pollutants into various forms, the relative toxicities of ecologically relevant concentrations of sodium selenate, sodium selenite, seleno-L-methionine, and Se-(methyl) selenocysteine hydrochloride to ...

Selenium (Se) was applied to perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and subterranean clover (Trifolium subterranean) pasture as a fertilizer to determine the effect of Se form and concentration on Se accumulation in subsequent forage growth. Treatments were a no Se control, 0.6 kg/ ha Se as sodium selenate, and 0.6, 1.1, and 2.2 kg/ha Se as sodium selenite, all applied to pasture plots with low so...

The absorption of selenium (Se) from water by Lemna minor L. and the influence different concentrations forms Se on its biochemical morphological characteristics were studied. Plants exposed to various Se: 1 mg L−1, 2 L−1 5 in sodium selenite selenate solutions a combination (2 L−1) L−1). When was added form selenate, plants accumulated higher amounts compared selenite. Comparisons combined add...

In this study, the effects of sodium selenite and selenate applications on laying, plant  appearance, number worm cobs, random plants, plant height, cob/plant ratio, leaf/stem  ratio silage maize were investigated. Selenium was applied at eight different levels (0-5-10-15-25-  50-75-100 g Se ha-1). Selenite to soil in liquid form before planting seeds, selenate  leaf when corn 50-70 cm tall. di...

The present study was carried out to show the negative impact of different concentrations sodium chloride (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mM) on germination rate 7-day old maize seeds, according results by measuring growth criteria germinated seeds both mM Nacl these concs nearly lethal seed so, ignored in next experiments complete step with three only 150 200 Nacl. Also, our accomplished improve 1...

Surface coal mine spoil was studied to evaluate selenium (Se) mobility and solubility using batch experiments, column-Ieachmg techniques, and sequential and individual extraction processes. Both selenite and selenate followed linear isotherm patterns at relatively lower Se treatments, whereas over a broader solution Se concentraton range the sorption mechanism followed the Lanpuir model. The va...
