Copper and zinc are, together with other metals, highly occurring in the environment. Cu
enters the environment artificially mainly through biocides or fungicides, which were applied …

Rapid senescence is the key factor in the deterioration of post-harvest shelf-life in broccoli
heads. This study evaluates the head yield and its related traits, and physicochemical …

Many humans lack sufficient zinc (Zn) in their diet for their wellbeing and increasing Zn
concentrations in edible produce (biofortification) can mitigate this. Recent efforts have …

Agronomic zinc (Zn) biofortification of crops could help to alleviate dietary Zn deficiency,
which is likely to affect more than one billion people worldwide. To evaluate the efficiency of …

To evaluate if the combined foliar application of nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn) in broccoli
improves the efficiency of the single Zn biofortification, five treatments were tested:(i) …

Foliar application of micronutrients has become a common farm management practice to
increase the overall yield of various crops. However, the effects of foliar fertilization on shelf …

The effects of the co-application of molybdenum (Mo) and zinc (Zn) on winter wheat grain
yield, leaf photosynthetic efficiency, and antioxidant activity were investigated using pot …

Millions of people have Zn-deficient diets, so Zn-biofortified crops could prevent such
deficiency. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of agronomic Zn biofortification of …

Over a billion people in the developing countries are estimated to be suffering from insidious
hunger due to micronutrient malnutrition. According to the World Health Organization …

Broccoli, being a Cole crop, is a heavy feeder of plant nutrients. So, effective and
appropriate concentration of micronutrients ie, ammonium molybdate and boric acid, in …
