Enrichment of cereal grains with zinc: Agronomic or genetic biofortification?
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Plant breeding strategy (e.g., genetic biofortification) appears to be a most sustainable and cost-effective approach useful in improving Zn concentrations in grain, and application of Zn fertilizers or Zn-enriched NPK fertilizers offers a rapid solution to the problem.
