Agronomic biofortification boosts essential nutrients in Indian broccoli, combating malnutrition.
The study focused on improving the levels of essential micronutrients like Zinc and Boron in broccoli grown in acidic soils in India. By using agronomic biofortification techniques, researchers aimed to increase the nutrient content of the vegetables to combat deficiencies in human populations. The findings suggest that biofortification can be an effective strategy to address Zinc deficiency in crops and improve the nutritional value of vegetables for better human health.
