Description |
Testing of biofortified hybrids across varying pearl millet-growing regions of India indicated the need for maintaining sufficient Fe and Zn levels in soil to express the crops’s full genetic potential and ensure successful loading of micronutrients in the grain. The study suggested the need for practicing balanced fertilization while growing biofortified hybrids to increase grain yield and micronutrient accumulation in grains. |
