Selenium – an essential micronutrient for plants

Selenium is an essential micronutrient for plants.

In dry conditions, selenium:

  • postpones senescence
  • protects plants from sunburn

Studies at the Jozef Stefan Institute of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, demonstrate that selenium is an important micronutrient, playing a vital part in the drought resistance of plants.
