Sažetak
Selenium (Se) is an essential element for animals and humans while it is beneficial to plants. Low intake of Se in human diet has negative consequences for health. Plants are among the main sources of Se for humans so it is possible to increase the Se intake in human diet by biofortification. Biofortification can be carried out in two ways: by fertilization (agronomic biofortification) and crop improvement (genetic biofortification). There are different types of agronomic biofortification to increase Se content in plants. Most common are foliar and soil application of Se. From studied literature can be concluded that foliar application of Se is mostly more efficient (as much as a 60-fold increase Se content comparing to control) and accordingly economically justified measure to increase Se content in plants than soil application (33-fold increase Se content comparing to control).
