© 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS Dietary zinc (Zn) deficiency is widespread globally, and is particularly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is consumed widely in LMICs due to its high protein conten...

Can nitrogen fertilizer management improve grain iron concentration of agro-biofortified crops in Zimbabwe? (2021)
Journal Article
Manzeke-Kangara, M. G., Mtambanengwe, F., Watts, M. J., Broadley, M. R., Lark, R. M., & Mapfumo, P. (2021). Can nitrogen fertilizer management improve grain iron concentration of agro-biofortified crops in Zimbabwe?. Agronomy, 11(1), Article 124. https://doi.org/10.3390/agronomy11010124

Improving iron (Fe) concentration in staple grain crops could help reduce Fe-deficiency anaemia in communities dependent on plant-based diets. Co-application of nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn) fertilizers has been reported to improve both yield and grain...
