• Selenium in agriculture: a nutrient or contaminant for crops? (2014, methodology): “It was concluded that spinach leaves in 2.6 and 3.9 μM Na2SeO4 accumulated about 9–11 μg g −1 DW, and these were adequate concentrations for providing the RDA of 55 μg per day for adults (Table 2).”
• Bioavailability of selenium in soil-plant system and a regulatory approach (2018, background): “M., & Suarez, D. L. (2005). Composition of irrigation water salinity”
• Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa (2015, background): “Adding Se to the staple crop maize via subsidised fertiliser could supply adequate amounts of Se in the diets of the ca. 1.5 million households who benefit from the Malawi government Fertiliser Input Subsidy Scheme, at a total cost of 250–550 US$ k year−1 (Chilimba et al. 2012).”
