© 2019, The Author(s). Aim: Magnesium (Mg) deficiency (known as grass tetany) is a serious metabolic disorder that affects grazing ruminants. We tested whether Mg-fertiliser can increase Mg concentration of Italian ryegrasses (Lolium multiflorum L.)...

Uptake competition between selenium and sulphur fertilizers in sequential harvests of ryegrass: A stable isotope study (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jiang, L., Young, S. D., Bailey, E. H., Broadley, M. R., Graham, N. S., & McGrath, S. P. (2019, October). Uptake competition between selenium and sulphur fertilizers in sequential harvests of ryegrass: A stable isotope study. Presented at 6th International Conference on Selenium in the Environment and Human Health (ICSEHH 2019), Yangling, Xi'an, China

The demand for sulphur (S) fertilizers has increased due to declining S emissions from coal burning and subsequent deposition on agricultural land. Slow-release S may only be beneficial for grass Selenium (Se) status initially and less beneficial for...
