Professor Jean Hall has been in the news quite a bit lately for her research on the benefits of fertilizing Oregon alfalfa with selenium. She is now working on getting the word out to crop producers and making sure they understand the proper way of using selenium in boom sprayers. Too much selenium can be toxic. “There is a process using pure powder which we can explain to producers,” she says.
