Zinc effects of maize and common bean grain yield and zinc use efficiency in Siaya County, Kenya
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/151590
Abstract
Soil zinc deficiency is a modern-day challenge in the global food production systems, lowering crop yields and yield quality. Research shows that crop yields and nutritional quality can be restored, and human health burden reversed by agronomic bio-fortification of zinc in staple crops. As a result, this study was designed to: i) determine the effects of nano-particulate zinc oxide, zinc…
