Grain iron and zinc densities in released and commercial cultivars of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum)
Crop biofortification is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural trategy to reduce micronutrient malnutrition arising from iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies. A large number of hybrids and open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] have been released a...
