Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa (2015)
Journal Article
Joy, E. J. M., Stein, A. J., Young, S. D., Ander, E. L., Watts, M. J., & Broadley, M. R. (2015). Zinc-enriched fertilisers as a potential public health intervention in Africa. Plant and Soil, 389(1-2), 1-24. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11104-015-2430-8
