“…Numerous studies have shown that due to P-Zn antagonism, P fertilizer application affects Zn uptake by crop roots and Zn translocation from vegetative organs to grains, thus significantly reducing Zn accumulation in aboveground organs and affecting grain Zn concentrations [26,27,46,47]. A field experiment conducted on calcareous soil showed that long-term P fertilizer application increased grain yield by 15%, but the grain Zn concentration decreased by 6.8-9.2 mg kg −1 per 100 kg P ha −1 application, with P application significantly reducing root mycorrhizal infection rates, thus affecting root Zn uptake [13,48].…”

“…Current research on Zn nutritional fortification of wheat grain is focused on the application of Zn fertilizers, methods or rates of Zn application and the impact of nitrogen and P fertilizer rates on Zn nutrients [6,[24][25][26][27]. The application of different P fertilizer types to Zn-deficient or potential Zn-deficient calcareous soils on Zn nutrients for winter wheat cultivation has been rarely investigated, despite the importance of achieving high crop yields and nutrient use efficiency through tailored fertilizer management [10,28].…”

Although phosphorus (P) fertilizer application is widely used to improve production, irrational P application has a negative impact on the zinc (Zn) nutrition of cereal crops. Previous researchers observed and confirmed that P application decreases grain Zn concentrations and bioavailability in cereal crops. However, it remains unclear whether different P fertilizer types can alleviate the antagonism of P and Zn in the soil and grain and, thus, enhance the Zn nutritional level of cereal crops while maintaining production. Thus, a completely randomized pot experiment was conducted on winter wheat grown in two calcareous soils (lime concretion black soil and fluvo-aquic soil). Five P fertilizer types (single superphosphate, diammonium phosphate, fused calcium–magnesium phosphate, triple superphosphate, and ammonium polyphosphate, abbreviated, respectively, as SSP, DAP, FMP, TSP, and APP) were applied to each soil compared to no P fertilizer (CK). Plant and topsoil samples were collected during the flowering and maturity stages of winter wheat, and biomass, Zn concentrations in each organ, and grain phytic acid concentrations were analyzed. Grain yield was not affected by the application of different P fertilizer types to lime concretion black soil, while it was significantly increased by the application of TSP and APP to fluvo-aquic soil. The application of DAP and APP effectively promoted soil available Zn concentrations in both calcareous soils. In lime concretion black soil, the application of FMP significantly increased Zn remobilization to grains, while the application of DAP increased post-anthesis Zn uptake, thereby increasing grain Zn concentrations and its bioavailability. In fluvo-aquic soil, post-anthesis Zn remobilization and uptake were significantly increased by the application of TSP and APP, finally achieving higher grain Zn concentrations and Zn harvest index and effectively promoting grain Zn bioavailability. In conclusion, the rational application of DAP to wheat grown in lime concretion black soil and of TSP or APP to fluvo-aquic soil can achieve superior grain Zn nutrition quality while concurrently retaining high production and high P use efficiency, reducing micronutrient deficiency and further contributing to green agricultural development and human health.

“…Wheat genotypes demonstrated a significant relationship with plant yield, influencing the uptake of Zn as [18]. There exists a substantial disparity between the Zn content found in wheat grains, which typically ranges from 20 to 35 mg kg −1 , and the recommended Zn level of 45 mg kg −1 for ensuring human health underscores the necessity for biofortification [19]. In addition to genetic approaches, agronomic biofortification approaches can also enhance the Zn content in wheat grain with Zn fertilization through seed priming, soil applied, and foliar application, along with the presence and absence of Zn-solubilizing bacteria (ZSB) in term of availability, effectiveness and sustainability ( [20][21][22].…”

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a vital cereal crop for food security in Pakistan. In Zn-deficient soils, its productivity and quality suffer, affecting grain yield, Zn bioavailability, and nutrition, which can lead to malnutrition. Field experiments were conducted using factorial randomized block design at the Agricultural Research Institute (ARI) Tarnab, Peshawar, Pakistan to evaluate the impact of wheat genotypes (G1-TRB-72-311 synthetic hexaploid, G2-TRB-89-348 advanced line, and G3-Pirsabak-19-approved variety), Zn application methods (AM1: no Zn application, AM2: seed priming with 0.5% Zn, AM3: soil application of 10 kg ha−1 Zn, and AM4: foliar application of 0.5% Zn), and the experiment also explored the use of ZSB (BF1: with bacteria, BF0: without bacteria) to cope with Zn deficiency. The study revealed significant impacts on wheat’s Zn content, uptake, and nutrient efficiency, arising from genotypes variance, Zn application approaches, and ZSB. TRB-72-311 synthetic hexaploid genotype with 0.5% foliar Zn and ZSB excelled, enhancing grain (17.8%) and straw Zn (23.1%), increasing total Zn uptake (55.0%), reducing grain phytic acid (11.7%), and boosting Zn-related efficiencies in wheat. These results prompt further discussion regarding the potential implications for agricultural practices. In conclusion, utilizing the TRB-72-311 genotype with 0.5% foliar Zn application and ZSB enhances wheat’s Zn content, uptake, grain quality, and addresses malnutrition.
