Background: Biofortification of vegetables with selenium (Se) greatly
depends on species tolerance to Se supply. Due to the scant information regarding
kohlrabi Se biofortification, the aim of the present work was the evaluation of
foliar sodium selenate application on yield and biochemical characteristics of
three kohlrabi cultivars.
Material and methods: A two years field experiment was conducted in
Moscow region (Russia) on 3 kohlrabi cultivars using foliar biofortification with
