Soil frequently receive a wide range of contaminants from industrial activities, sewage sludge , disposal , metal processing and energy production and many cases remediations both expensive and intrusive to the ecosystem, phytoremediation is the use of plant's and plant processes to remove degrade or render harmless hazardous materials present in the soil or groundwater. This emerging technology may offer a cost-effective, non-intrusive, and safe alternative to conventional soil cleanup techniques by using the ability of certain tree; shrub and grass species to remove degrade or immobilize harmful chemicals from the soil. A plant management remediation strategy for Se was developed base upon research from Banuelos and Meek (1990) and other earlier research that showed that certain exotic plants, e.g., Astragalus, stanteya, accumulate high concentration's of Se when grown on seleneferous
