“…Until now, the information about multi nutrient foliar application is rare (Rawashdeh and Florin, 2015). Combine application of Mn and Fe and Fe + Mn + Zn resulted in best yields in wheat (Zain et al, 2015). Similarly, combined multi nutrient foliar application of on Lycopersicum and Beta vulgaris shows the highest yields compared to individual nutrient (Gobarah et al, 2014).…”

Micronutrient malnutrition caused by inadequate dietary intake is a global nutritional problem of more than half of world's population. Fortification is expensive while biofotification is a natural approach and considered better than fortification. Biofotification of wheat with micronutrients especially zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) is a relatively new public approach to control deficiencies of these nutrients in flour/diet in developing countries. This research study is comprised of results of field experiment to examine the effects of foliar feeding of micronutrients along with endophytic bacteria on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of wheat. Compared with control (without foliar feeding of micronutrients), foliar application on wheat with endophytic bacteria increased the plant height, leaf area, spike length and plant biomass by 13.53, 41.67, 55.07 and 42.50% respectively. It was observed that Zn and Fe concentration enhanced in grains up to 37.93 and 10.14% respectively with the combine application of micropower and endophytic bacteria. These results elucidate that foliar feeding of micronutrients effectively biofortified wheat grains. Furthermore, foliar feeding of micronutrients along with endophytic bacteria could be used as an easy, quick and cost-effective approach to enrich wheat flour with health essential micronutrients for correcting malnutrition.

“…This perhaps due to the basic role of Fe in plant respiration, photosynthetic processes and chlorophyll formation, Fe addition cause improvement in grain yield components. Application of micro-elements prominently improve grains spike -1 , 1000 grains weight, tillers meters -2 , grain yield, biological yields and harvest index of the wheat (Zain et al, 2015).…”

Micronutrients (zinc and iron) play a vital role in the functioning of all living organisms. These nutrients are indispensable for plant nourishment and development -though required in small amount. The current research work was performed at the Agronomy Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar in winter, 2015-16. Combinations of soil applied Zn levels (5, 10, 15 and 20 kg ha -1 ) and Fe levels (5, 10, 15 and 20 kg ha -1 ) with a control were allotted randomly to the experimental units using randomized complete block design. The results elucidated that days to anthesis, plant height, productive tillers, yield and yield components of wheat were significantly inclined with Zn and Fe levels. The plots enriched with 15 kg Zn ha -1 and 10 kg Fe ha -1 exhibited higher grain yields (3775 and 3802 kg ha -1 , respectively). Results conceded that the interaction for Zn and Fe was significant for days to anthesis. It was concluded that the plots fertilized with 15 kg Zn ha -1 and 10 kg Fe ha -1 resulted in improved yield and yield components. Hence, fertilization of plots with 15 kg Zn ha -1 and 10 kg Fe ha -1 is recommended for improved wheat yield in the agro-climatic condition of Peshawar.

“…After analyzing the methods of fertilization and applying 120 kg•ha -1 nitrogen with the addition of Azofoska multi-component fertilizer at the BBCH stage of 23-29 (fertilization treatment 6), a significantly higher grain yield was obtained compared to a dose of 80 kg•ha -1 nitrogen applied either in the form of urea to the soil (fertilization treatment 1), urea with Azofoska fertilizer (fertilization treatment 2) or urea with Ekolist Mikro Z fertilizer (fertilization treatment 4). The effects of cereal production, resulting from the supplementation of basic NPK fertilization with fertilizers containing a combination of macro-and micronutrients, are not uniform (Gomaa et al, 2015;Wojtkowiak et al, 2015;Zain et al, 2015). Wojtkowiak et al (2015) found no effect of the extra to-the-soil fertilization with Azofoska and foliar fertilization with Ekolist on the yield of spring triticale grains.…”
