Abstract
BOURCET1 reported that wide variation in iodine content occurred among plants growing on the same soil, even among plants of one species. Other workers2–4 have reported variations in the iodine content of herbage growing on different soils. The extent to which the iodine content of pasture herbage is influenced by soil type, season and botanical composition was not clear, and it has been made the subject of further investigation.
