Combined Selenium and Zinc Biofortification of Bread-Making Wheat under Mediterranean Conditions

Millions of people worldwide have an inadequate intake selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn), agronomic biofortification may minimise these problems. To evaluate the efficacy combined foliar Se Zn fertilisation in bread making wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a two-year field experiment was established southern Spain under semi-arid Mediterranean conditions, by following split-split-plot design. The study year (2017/2018, 2018/2019) considered as main-plot factor, soil application (50 kg ha−1, nor Zn) subplot factor (nor Se, 10 g 8 ha−1 + ha−1) sub-subplot factor. best treatment to increase both concentration straw, 12.3- 2.7-fold respectively, grain, 1.3- 4.3-fold Se. This also increased on average yield main product this crop, almost 7%. Therefore, bread-making seems be very suitable crop used programs with alleviate their deficiency both, when using its grain livestock straw.
