Abstract
Use of copper in modern agriculture needs more and more attention. Copper is used as an additive for feeding stuffs and for fertilisers. Crop uptake of copper is small and when farmers use very copper-enriched slurry, manure or sludge there will be a great positive copper balance in the soil. Under such conditions the copper content of the crops will increase and this can cause toxicity in animalsespecially in sheep. The paper reviews the situation in Danish agriculture in particular.
