Abstract
This report deals with observations of and experiments on the ecological effect of selenium addition to fodder crops through soil application. The biological half-life of selenium has been investigated for some terrestrial and freshwater organisms, and it is shown that an increase in the average selenium level does not change the relative distribution between these organisms in the ecosystem.
The results, therefore, support the view that such an application does not constitute a risk of accumulation of selenium in the food chain.
