Foliar Spraying with ZnSO or ZnO of cv. Syrah Increases the Synthesis of Photoassimilates and Favors Winemaking.

Zinc enrichment of edible food products, through the soil and/or foliar application of fertilizers, is a strategy that can increase the contents of some nutrients, namely Zn. In this context, a workflow for agronomic enrichment with zinc was carried out on irrigated cv. Syrah, aiming to evaluate the mobilization of photoassimilates to the winegrapes and the consequences of this for winemaking.

Elemental Composition and Implications on Brown Rice Flour Biofortified with Selenium.

Rice ( L.) is one of the most economically and socially important cereals in the world. Several strategies such as biofortification have been developed in a way eco-friendly and sustainable to enhance crop productivity.

Assessment of Physicochemical Parameters in Two Winegrapes Varieties after Foliar Application of ZnSO and ZnO.

One-third of the world's population is suffering from "hidden hunger" due to micronutrient deficiency. Zinc is acquired through diet, leading its deficiency to the development of disorders such as retarded growth, anorexia, infections, and hypogeusia. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop an agronomic workflow for Zn biofortification on two red winegrapes varieties (cv.

Zinc Biofortification in : Implications for Quality and Wine Production.

Nowadays, there is a growing concern about micronutrient deficits in food products, with agronomic biofortification being considered a mitigation strategy. In this context, as Zn is essential for growth and maintenance of human health, a workflow for the biofortification of grapes from the variety Fernão Pires, which contains this nutrient, was carried out considering the soil properties of the vineyard. Additionally, Zn accumulation in the tissues of the grapes and the implications for some quality parameters and on winemaking were assessed.

Magnesium Accumulation in Two Contrasting Varieties of L. Fruits: Interaction with Calcium at Tissue Level and Implications on Quality.

As the productivity and quality of tomato fruits are responsive to Mg applications, without surpassing the threshold of toxicity, the assessment of potential levels of Mg accumulation in tissues, as well as the interactions with Ca and physicochemical properties, prompt this study. An agronomic workflow for Mg enrichment, consisting of six foliar applications of MgSO with four concentrations (0%, 0.25%, 1% and 4%), equivalent to 0, 43.

Foliar Spraying of L. with CaCl and Ca(NO): Interactions with Nutrients Accumulation in Tubers.

Calcium is essential for plants, yet as its mobility is limited, the understanding of the rate of Ca accumulation and deposition in tissues of tubers, as well as the interactions with other critical nutrients prompted this study. To assess the interactions and differential accumulation of micro and macronutrients in the tissues of tubers, L. varieties Agria and Rossi were cultivated and, after the beginning of tuberization, four foliar sprayings (at 8-10 day intervals) with CaCl (3 and 6 kg ha) or Ca(NO) (2 and 4 kg ha) solutions were performed.

Effect of Rice Grain ( L.) Enrichment with Selenium on Foliar Leaf Gas Exchanges and Accumulation of Nutrients.

An agronomic itinerary for Se biofortification of two rice cultivars (Ariete and Ceres) through foliar fertilization with sodium selenate and sodium selenite with different concentrations (25, 50, 75 and 100 g Se.ha), was implemented in experimental fields. The selenium toxicity threshold was not exceeded, as shown by the eco-physiological data obtained through leaf gas exchanges.

Can Foliar Pulverization with CaCl and Ca(NO) Trigger Ca Enrichment in L. Tubers?

This study aimed to assess the efficiency of Ca enrichment in tubers of three genotypes of L., through foliar spraying with CaCl and Ca(NO) solutions. In this context, soil heterogeneity of three potato-growing fields, as well as the implications of Ca accumulation among tissues and some quality parameters were assessed.

Zinc Enrichment in two Contrasting Genotypes of L. Grains: Interactions between Edaphic Conditions and Foliar Fertilizers.

This study aimed to assess the implications of Zn enrichment in wheat grains as a function of contrasting genotypes, edaphic conditions and foliar fertilizers. L. varieties Roxo and Paiva were grown in four production fields, and sprayed with ZnSO (0, 16.

Quantification and Tissue Localization of Selenium in Rice ( L., Poaceae) Grains: A Perspective of Agronomic Biofortification.

In worldwide production, rice is the second-most-grown crop. It is considered a staple food for many populations and, if naturally enriched in Se, has a huge potential to reduce nutrient deficiencies in foodstuff for human consumption. This study aimed to develop an agronomic itinerary for Se biofortification of L.
