“…Wide-spread deficiencies of micronutrients have been reported in world agricultural soils (Alloway, 2008). Deficiency of micronutrients (zinc [Zn], iron [Fe], copper [Cu], and manganese [Mn]) has also been reported in soils of different regions of India including DPR Shukla et al, 2016;Shukla et al, 2017;Shukla, Tiwari, & Prakash, 2014).…”

“…Deficiency of micronutrients (zinc [Zn], iron [Fe], copper [Cu], and manganese [Mn]) has also been reported in soils of different regions of India including DPR Shukla et al, 2016;Shukla et al, 2017;Shukla, Tiwari, & Prakash, 2014). Enhanced use of Zn, Fe, Cu, and Mn-free fertilizers, increased crop yield through high yielding varieties and intensive cultivation are the predominant causes of deficiencies of these micronutrients in soils (Alloway, 2008;Fageria, Baligar, & Clark, 2002;Sillanpaa, 1990). The availability of micronutrients in soils is primarily governed by parent material, soil pH, and content of soil organic carbon (SOC) and anthropogenic activities (Lindsay, 1979).…”

Emerging micronutrient deficiencies in different soils of the world is a threat for sustainability of agriculture. As distribution of micronutrients in soil varies spatially, site‐specific management of micronutrients by delineating regional zones (RZs) is an effective strategy for precision agriculture. The current investigation was performed to delineate RZs in a Deccan Plateau Region (DPR) of India by considering spatial variability of some soil properties and available micronutrients for efficient management of micronutrients. Altogether, 4,939 representative soil samples (with geographical coordinates) from surface (0–0.15 m depth) layers were obtained from Telangana state lying in DPR of India. After processing, soil samples were analysed for pH, electrical conductivity, soil organic carbon and available zinc, copper, iron, and manganese. Soil pH, electrical conductivity, and soil organic carbon content had mean values of 7.48 ± 0.95, 0.42 ± 0.22 dS/m and 0.48 ± 0.17%, respectively. Whereas, the mean values of available zinc, iron, copper, and manganese concentrations were 0.83 ± 0.36, 8.79 ± 4.15, 0.99 ± 0.43, and 8.79 ± 4.06 mg/kg, respectively. Geostatistical analysis divulged different distribution pattern of soil properties and available micronutrients with strong to moderate spatial dependency. The four principal components (with >1 eigenvalue) responsible for 73% of total variance were considered for analysis. Six RZs from the study area were created through geostatistical, principal component, and clustering analysis. The measured soil properties and available micronutrients in the RZs varied significantly highlighting the usefulness of RZ delineation technique for precise micronutrients management in DPR of India.

“…Other minerals such as Cu, Mn, and Se are essential trace elements for human health, and their consumption by humankind has decreased compared to the past (Mangan et al, 2016;Moreira-Ascarrunz, Larsson, Prieto Linde, & Johansson, 2016;Welch & Graham, 2002). Over one billion people are at risk of Se deficiency that affects critically thyroid function and muscle development (Graham, 2008). Over one billion people are at risk of Se deficiency that affects critically thyroid function and muscle development (Graham, 2008).…”

“…Over one billion people are at risk of Se deficiency that affects critically thyroid function and muscle development (Graham, 2008). Vitamin A is widely deficient vitamin in humans, and its deficiency can cause anemia in humans (Graham, 2008). Some carotenoids, notably b-carotene, are converted to vitamin A in mammals and, therefore, are called to pro-vitamin A as well (Shewry & Hey, 2015).…”

“…The world population suffers micronutrient and vitamin deficiencies particularly in developing countries (Brown et al, 2004;Welch & Graham, 1999. Some micronutrients such as boron (B), chlorine (CI), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), and selenium (Se) are known as essential trace elements for plants and humans (Graham, 2008). Fe, Zn, and vitamin A (retinol) deficiencies are among the 19 leading risk factors of the global burden of disease estimates and Zn and Fe malnutrition affects over 4 billion people worldwide (WHO, 2009).…”

Background and objectives: Ancient wheat species, einkorn and emmer wheat, are potential healthy food sources for their vitamin and element contents. The aim of this study was to evaluate some elements and vitamin A and B complex of 36 einkorn and 49 emmer wheat advanced lines tested under field conditions. Findings: The results showed that some emmer wheat lines were extremely higher than those from einkorn and durum wheat checks for microelements. The mean concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, and Se of the emmer wheat lines were found to be 41.72 AE 3.57, 17.06 AE 0.63, 2.85 AE 0.15, 18.11 AE 0.71, and 0.05 AE 0.00 mg/kg, respectively. In addition, the means of A, B1, B2, B5, and B6 concentrations were determined as 65.48 AE 2.39 lg/kg, 4.22 AE 0.13 mg/kg, 0.36 AE 0.05 mg/kg, 3.60 AE 0.21 mg/kg, and 2.06 AE 0.09 mg/kg, respectively. Conclusions: The emmer wheat lines of 24, 43, 44, and 53 for elemental and 3, 4, 11, 17, and 24 for vitamin A and B complex can be selected for enrichment of the wheat products. Significance and novelty: Superiority of emmer wheat lines in terms of micronutrients and vitamin A and B complex compared to einkorn lines and durum wheat cultivars was obviously demonstrated.
