Soil and Foliar Zinc Biofortification of Triticale (x ) under Mediterranean Conditions: Effects on Forage Yield and Quality.

Zinc (Zn) deficiency represents a significant global concern, affecting both plant and human health, particularly in regions with Zn-depleted soils. Agronomic biofortification strategies, such as the application of Zn fertilizers, offer a cost-effective approach to increase Zn levels in crops. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of soil and foliar Zn biofortification, applied as an aqueous solution of 0.
