Herbage selenium (Se) concentration is generally low in Norway. It is unknown, if feeding practises on Norwegian organic farms fulfil the dietary need of Se and vitamin E to sheep and dairy cattle. Therefore, we analysed Se in soil and herbage, and Se and vitamin E in animal blood in the indoor feeding season at 14 organic dairy and 14 organic sheep farms. The herbage Se concentration was low. Approximately 50 and 35 % of all samples in the first and second cut, respectively, had Se concentrations below the detection limit of 0.01 mg/kg dry matter (DM). The median (10th, 90th percentile) Se concentrations were

Horizontal subsurface "ow constructed wetlands have proven their ef"ciency in treating wastewater and removing the pollutants of concern. Treatment ef"ciency depends on the wastewater residence time, which is a function of the hydraulic loading and the physical conditions of the constructed "lter system, which can be described with effective parameters such as: hydraulic conductivity, porosity, dispersivity etc. Because spatial variability is often scale dependent, these effective parameters may be affected by the scale of the system being studied. In this paper the results of tracer experiments in constructed "lters using saturated horizontal "ow at three scales (small and medium lab scales and full-scale system) using the same "lter media is reported. Light-weight aggregate ("lter media termed Filtralite-PTM) was used at all scales. Increasing the scale was associated with increasing dispersivity, meanwhile hydraulic conductivity experienced dramatic reduction and variation by increasing the examined scale. Observed changes in the hydraulic parameters indicate that heterogeneity at different scales should be taken into account when the performance of LWA "lters are evaluated from small-scale experiments.

Stråfattig italiensk raigras sådd i blanding med korn kan gi velgjæra surfôr med høg næringsverdi dersom det vert hausta til rett tid under gunstige haustingsforhold. Samtidig gir gjenveksten av raigraset næringsrike, vekstkraftige beite utover hausten.

Plant species composition and species number were studied in two types of field margins: 31 arable field margins and 33 road verges. Both field margin types were adjacent to intensively managed grass or cereal fields. Effects of eight variables on field margin vegetation were studied. Despite having many plant species in common, composition and species number differed between the two field margin types, due to different ecological conditions and margin management. Arable field margins were composed of tall and/or nutrient demanding ubiquitous species and were characterised by species of later successional stages than those of road verges. The vegetation of road verges was lower and species numbers were higher than in arable field margins. The road verges contained several semi-natural meadow species that are declining in abundance. A CCA ordination of the field margins and the recorded variables showed that plant species composition was significantly affected by thickness of litter, slope, width, moisture level and type of crop in the adjacent field. Number of plant species was significantly higher in mown than unmown margins and generally higher in margins adjacent to fields with mainly grass production than in margins adjacent to fields with mainly cereal crops. In order to preserve botanical diversity in this agricultural landscape, the maintenance of regularly mown road verges should be prioritized.

Ved vinterproduksjon av agurk kan det i perioder med låge utetemperaturer være nødvendig å gi kontinuerlig belysning for å holde den ønskede temperaturen inne i huset. Slik kontinuerlig belysning i flere døgn har vist seg å gi klorose og nekrose på bladverk, samt abortering av frukt. På Planteforsk Kvithamar ønsket vi å finne ut under hvilke betingelser slike skader oppstår og forløpet av dem. Har lysnivået og lufttemperaturen betydning? Er det unge eller eldre planter som er mest utsatt for skade?
