Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in the world and a potentially
important source of zinc (Zn) in the diet. The improvement of Zn content of rice is a global …

Abstract Background Increasing zinc (Zn) concentration of rice seed has potential benefits
for human nutrition and health. Enhanced levels of Zn in grain also contributes greatly to …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential element involved in human metabolism, which can be supplied by
an appropriate diet. Enhancing Zn enrichment in rice grains through agronomic …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is the most important abiotic factor limiting rice (Oryza sativa L.)
productivity and also a nutritional disorder with adverse impacts on human health …

Background Zinc (Zn) biofortification through foliar Zn application is an attractive strategy to
reduce human Zn deficiency. However, little is known about the biofortification efficiency and …

Background and aims Rice crop management for Zn biofortification should also benefit yield.
This study established how grain Zn concentration and yield of rice varieties with a range of …

Core Ideas Rice grain‐Zn concentration increased with more aerobic soil conditions.
Fertilizer‐Zn applied to soil had limited effect on rice grain‐Zn concentration. Rice paddy …

Continuous cropping of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) deplete soil
fertility and reduce crop productivity as well as zinc (Zn) concentrations in rice grains and …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is an enormous challenge to human health, particularly where rice is the
principal food as it is inherently low in bioavailable Zn. Recent research has demonstrated …

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is widely spread in Egyptian paddy soils and has negative impact on
national rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Field experiments were conducted at the research …
