wheat flour is known as the best nutrients supplier for human. in this research, the effects of combined application of nitrogen fertilizer, farmyard manure (fym), sewage sludge and municipal waste compost on nutrients concentrations of wheat flour (triticum aestivum cv. alvand) were studied in a randomized complete blocks design with 15 treatments and three replicates in agricultural research ...

in order to evaluate the effects of foliar micronutrients on quantitative and qualitative yield of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.), a field experiment was carried out at research farm of agricultural faculty, zabol university during growing season of 2005-2006. the experiment performed based on rcbd with 3 replications and 7 treatments including: fe, zn, b, pair combination of them and cont...

Mineral nutrient malnutrition, particularly deficiency in zinc and iron, afflicts over 3 billion people worldwide. Biofortification of food crops is the best approach for conciliating the micronutrient deficiencies. Understanding the genetic basis of their accumulation is the preconditions for enhancing of these micronutrients. In our study, a mapping population of a set of 118 recombinant inbr...

Bio-fortification of food crops is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to decrease malnutrition arising from micronutrients deficiencies. Accordingly, the pot experiments have been conducted to investigate the effectiveness of various foliar-applied iron (Fe) fertilizers in increasing agro-morphological traits and grain micronutrients concentrations of bread wheat plants unde...

The relationships between grain yields and whole-plant accumulation of micronutrients such as zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and copper (Cu) in maize (Zea mays L.) were investigated by studying their reciprocal internal efficiencies (RIEs, g of micronutrient requirement in plant dry matter per Mg of grain). Field experiments were conducted from 2008 to 2011 in North China to evaluate RIEs...

Wheat is a major staple food crop providing about 20% of dietary energy and proteins, and food products made of whole grain wheat are a major source of micronutrients like Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium (Mg), Vitamin B and E. Wheat provides about 40% intake of essential micronutrients by humans in the developing countries relying on wheat based diets. Varieties with genetically...

sunflower (helianthus annus l.) is the most important between oil plants in iran. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of micronutrients application on the sunflower yield under drought stress. this experiment was carried out at golmakan agriculture research station (iran) in 2005 that using a split plot randomized complete block design with four replications. irrigation was ...

Low zinc (Zn) availability and its absorption limit wheat production and quality of yield in calcareous soils. In order to identify Zn deficient stress tolerance in wheat, fifteen spring genotypes (Diyarbakir-81; Gediz-75; Svevo; Zenit; Amanos-97; Fuatbey-2000; Balcali-2000; Ceylan-95; Firat-93; Aydin-93; Ozbek; Artuklu; Akcakale-2000; Aday-19; and Ege-88) were evaluated under two conditions (n...
