Quality of the ryegrass and lettuce yields as affected by selenium fertilization
The effect of Se-fertilization on the chemical composition and anti-oxidative properties of ryegrass and lettuce was studied in a pot experiment. The addition of Se enhanced its relative incorporation in soluble and insoluble proteins and diminished it in free amino acids. It also affected the anti-...
