Other claims from this paper (15)
- Intervention effect Selenium fertilisation significantly increased the selenium content in the grain of spelt wheat.
- Intervention effect The concentration of selenium in wheat was also influenced by the timing of selenium application.
- Intervention effect The dose of selenium and the timing of its application were not associated with significant changes in the content of both forms of sulphur in the tested plants.
- Intervention effect The experimental factors used did not lead to selenium levels toxic to humans and animals.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence in the growth environment increased total sulphur, sulphate sulphur and organic sulphur contents in spelt wheat grain and straw.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence in the growth environment increased total sulphur, sulphate sulphur and organic sulphur contents in common wheat grain and straw.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence increased total sulphur content of spelt wheat straw by an average of 17%.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence increased sulphate sulphur content of spelt wheat straw by an average of 29%.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence increased organic sulphur content of spelt wheat straw by an average of 23%.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence increased total sulphur content of common wheat straw by 26%.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence increased sulphate sulphur content of common wheat straw by 18%.
- Intervention effect Sulphur presence increased organic sulphur content of common wheat straw by 57%.
- Intervention effect The sulphur content in the plant growth environment was not associated with a change in the selenium content in the grain of the tested plants.
- Recommendation The authors suggest the optimal selenium dose for biofortification is 20 mg Se ha-1 on clay soil, applied during the stem elongation phase of spelt and common wheat.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that biofortification of wheat with selenium and sulphur is a good method of supplementing deficiencies of this element in the human diet.
