the green revolution fulfilled the food demand of crowded millions. from the time of green revolution to till date high yielding and fertilizer responsive varieties have evolved to increase the production per unit area. to improve the productivity only major nutrients are concentrated almost in all crops. though the importance of micronutrient realized during past decades in most of the crops b...

Background Better choices of dietary lipid sources and substitution of refined by fortified oils could reduce the intake of saturated fatty acids (FA) and increase the intake of omega 3 FA concomitantly to healthy bioactive compounds. Methods The development of obesity and metabolic disturbances was explored in rats fed during 11 weeks with a high fat diet (HFD) in which the amount of saturat...

BACKGROUND While adult populations have been well described in terms of nutritional status, such as the concentration of nutrient biomarkers, little work has been done in healthy paediatric populations. OBJECTIVE The primary objective of this analysis was to explore the determinants of plasma micronutrients in a group of healthy infants and children. DESIGN The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study i...

Currently, there is no information available about the spatio-temporal distribution of micronutrients in sandy mulching soils widely used southeast Spain; therefore, this experiment, we aimed to characterize wet bulb zone two sand-mulched soils. Four different factors were considered over experiment: (a) soil model, (b) time sampling, (c) distance from emitter, and (d) depth. Each was divided i...

Extensive use of chemical fertilizer is leading to infertility soil and various hazardous effect on the ecosystem. Using biofertilizer reduces these harmful effects. Many are commercially available, being a poor match they not used large scale. Near coastal regions seaweeds as biofertilizers. Recent studies show have multiple growth regulators, macro micronutrients, polysaccharides which necess...

Antioxidant micronutrient supplementation may be beneficial for critically ill patients. Often, cocktails of antioxidant micronutrients are used. Consequently, meta-analyses of available randomized controlled trials of antioxidant micronutrient supplementation are of particular interest. Because the majority of randomized controlled trials included in these meta-analyses use a combination of se...

the presented study aimed at investigating the effect of foliar application of amino acids and nano particles and chelated iron on photosynthetic pigments and yield of potato. to this end a factorial experiment was carried out in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013, in the research field of natural resources institute in damavand, iran. the first factor ...
