Linking soil adsorption-desorption characteristics with grain zinc concentrations and uptake by teff, wheat and maize in different landscape positions in Ethiopia (2023)
Journal Article

Aim: Zinc deficiencies are widespread in many soils, limiting crop growth and contributing to Zn deficiencies in human diets. This study aimed at understanding soil factors influencing grain Zn concentrations and uptake of crops grown in different la...

Landscape and Micronutrient Fertilizer Effect on Agro-Fortified Wheat and Teff Grain Nutrient Concentration in Western Amhara (2023)
Journal Article

Agronomic biofortification, encompassing the use of mineral and organic nutrient resources which improve micronutrient concentrations in staple crops is a potential strategy to promote the production of and access to micronutrient-dense foods at the...

A pilot survey of selenium status and its geospatial variation among children and women in three rural districts of Zimbabwe (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: Selenium (Se) deficiency is increasingly recognized as a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: The current cross-sectional study assessed the prevalence and geospatial patterns of Se deficiency among children aged 6–5... Read More about A pilot survey of selenium status and its geospatial variation among children and women in three rural districts of Zimbabwe.

Micronutrients and socio-demographic factors were major predictors of anaemia among the Ethiopian population (2023)
Journal Article

Anemia is characterized by low hemoglobin (Hb) concentration. Despite being a public health concern in Ethiopia, the role of micronutrients and non-nutritional factors as a determinant of Hb concentrations has been inadequately explored. This study f...

Genotypic Response of Finger Millet to Zinc and Iron Agronomic Biofortification, Location and Slope Position towards Yield (2023)
Journal Article

The present study aimed to investigate the influence of genotypic differences on responses to zinc and iron agronomic biofortification among yields of finger millet. A field experiment was conducted over two seasons in farmers’ fields in Ethiopia (20... Read More about Genotypic Response of Finger Millet to Zinc and Iron Agronomic Biofortification, Location and Slope Position towards Yield.

Impact of zinc and iron agronomic biofortification on grain mineral concentration of finger millet varieties as affected by location and slope (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Food crop micronutrient concentrations can be enhanced through agronomic biofortification, with the potential to reduce micronutrient deficiencies among rural population if they have access to fertilizers. Here we reported the impact of a... Read More about Impact of zinc and iron agronomic biofortification on grain mineral concentration of finger millet varieties as affected by location and slope.
