Abstract Worldwide, the dietary deficiency of zinc (Zn) is prevailing in almost
all arid and semi-arid regions. Zinc deficiency is not only the major constraint of
lower yield, but also dietary Zn deficiency in cereals grains may cause
increasing malnutrition and chronic health problems in human. Exogenous
application of Zn through basal soil nutrition might be a useful option to recover
Zn deficiency in mung bean. Therefore, field study was conducted to optimize
the optimum level and method of Zn nutrition to enhance crop yield and Zn
biofortification of mung bean through basal application. Zinc was… More >
