The effect of fulvic acid on the dose effect of selenite on the growth of wheat

Biol Trace Elem Res. 2001 Dec;83(3):275-9. doi: 10.1385/BTER:83:3:275.

Abstract

The effect of fulvic acid on the dose effect of selenite has been studied by using the hydroponics culture of wheat in the presence of selenite and fulvic acid (FA). The bioavailability of Se was investigated by 5 morphological end points and 12 biological and biochemical end points at different phases of growth of wheat seedling and seed germination. The "platform" of the dose effect observed indicates that the presence of FA can have both the beneficial effects and antagonists on the toxicity of Se to a certain extent.
