Application of Zinc, Iron and Boron Enhances Productivity and Grain Biofortification of Mungbean

Deficiencies of essential vitamins, iron (Fe), and zinc (Zn) affect over one-half the world’s population. A significant progress has been made to control micronutrient deficiencies through supplementation, but new approaches are needed, especially reach rural poor. Agronomic biofortification pulses with Zn, Fe, boron (B) offers a pragmatic solution combat hidden hunger instead food fortification supplementation. Moreover, it also positive effects on crop production as well. Therefore, we conducted three separate field experiments for two consecutive years evaluate impact soil foliar application aforementioned nutrients yield seed mungbean. Soil Zn at 0, 4.125, 8.25, Fe 2.5, 5.0 B 0.55, 1.1 kg ha−1 was done in first, second third experiment, respectively. Foliar these 0.3% 0.2% 0.1% respectively one week after flowering initiation. Data revealed that soil-applied ha−1, respectively, enhanced grain mungbean; however, this increase statistically similar recorded 2.5 0.55 flower initiation significantly contents by 28% 31%, 80% 78%, while 98% 116% during 2019 2020, It concluded from results performance improvements were nutrients.
