BACKGROUND The use of conventional breeding techniques and biotechnology to improve the micronutrient quality of staple crops is a new strategy to address micronutrient deficiencies in developing countries. This strategy, referred to as "biofortification," is being developed and implemented through the international alliance of HarvestPlus to improve iron, zinc, and vitamin A status in low-inco...

An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of INM on vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting of Andrographis paniculata. The experiment was followed in a randomized block design with 8 treatments. The different treatments were T1no treatment, T2vermicompost, T3-biofertilizers, T4-chemical fertilizers, T5biofertilizers + vermicompost, T6biofertilizers + chemical fertilizers, T7chemical...

BACKGROUND The effects of prenatal food and micronutrient supplementation on maternal micronutrient status are not well known. OBJECTIVE We compared the efficacy and effectiveness of 3 different micronutrient supplements on maternal micronutrient status when combined with food supplementation. METHODS In the MINIMat (Maternal and Infant Nutrition Intervention, Matlab) trial in Bangladesh, 4...

Micronutrient deficiencies have been found in obese individuals across age groups worldwide. While the effects of micronutrient deficiencies on human functions have been studied widely in different populations, there is limited information on how these micronutrient deficiencies affect obese populations. An examination of the available literature suggests associations exist between micronutrien...

Abstract Due to the increase in horticultural production intensive techniques are needed. These generate soil degradation, since natural recovery time between crops is insufficient. The usual way solve this problem use of fertilizers, as they effective short available. Conventional fertilizers highly soluble salts, allowing their absorption by plant roots. However, dumped on soils more quantity...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies is higher in obese individuals compared to normal-weight people, probably because of inadequate eating habits but also due to increased demands among overweight persons, which are underestimated by dietary reference intakes (DRI) intended for the general population. We therefore evaluated the dietary micronutrient intake in obese individua...
