Abstract
A pot culture experiment was conducted to study the effect of various concentrations of selenium provided as di sodium selenite and di sodium selenate (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, 16.0 ugg-1) on chlorophyll of wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.). Low concentration of selenium was observed to be beneficial for the test plants. A positive correlation was observed between a lower level of selenium (0.5 and 1.0 ugg-1) and foliar chlorophyll content. Higher levels of selenium (2.0 – 16.0 ugg-1) were toxic to the plants.
