Zinc biofortification in rice can be improved by altering Zn application timing and placement
and cultivar choice. We made a comprehensive assessment on this, analysing Zn, Fe and …

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) 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 …

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 …

Abstract Background Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the important abiotic factors limiting rice
productivity worldwide and also a widespread nutritional disorder affecting human health …

Zinc (Zn) is one of the most essential micronutrients required for the growth and
development of human beings. More than one billion people, particularly children and …

Enriching grain Zn concentration in rice through Zn fertilization is one approach to Zn
biofortification efforts. Experiments to understand the effectiveness of foliar Zn application at …

Zinc (Zn) ferti-fortification using different sources and methods in Zn deficient soils is being
advocated to increase Zn concentration in rice kernel as an alternative to pursuing greater …

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