Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Phosphorus and calcium content increased with selenium treatment.
- Intervention effect Potassium content decreased with increasing selenium treatment.
- Intervention effect Magnesium level showed no significant difference.
- Intervention effect At 50 and 100 µmol⋅dm-3, dry mass accumulation and root tolerance index severely decreased.
- Mechanism The authors suggest high selenium reduced biomass through disturbed mineral balance and calcium and phosphorus accumulation.
