“…Better allometric traits with Zn-fertilization might be attributed to the association of Zn with the synthesis of nucleic acid, protein, lipids, carbohydrates, nitrogen metabolism, photosynthesis, cell division and other related cell processes [36][37][38]. Better root growth and improved number of lateral roots might be attributed to involvement of Zn in the stimulation of several metabolic enzymes in the root cells [39], which promote cell division and elongation [11,12,[27][28][29]. Zinc fertilization improves the resistance against abiotic stresses by improving the root morphology and physiology [40], which ultimately enhances root growth.…”

“…As discussed above, Zn application improves growth and development by enhancing nitrogen use efficiency, protein synthesis, antioxidant mechanism, root development and plant morphological traits, which ultimately result in higher grain yield [24]. Several scientists have concluded that Zn application at different levels in mungbean crops significantly enhanced grain yield [11,12,[27][28][29]. Usman [49] reported that the highest number of grains per pod, 1000-grain weight, and grain and biological yields were achieved with Zn-fertilization.…”

“…Similarly, Kanwal et al [ 21 ] indicated that basal application of Zn improved productivity and profitability of mungbean. Recently seed priming [ 27 , 28 ] and seed coating [ 29 ] have been used to improve the productivity and grain biofortification of mungbean. However, these studies used a limited number of genotypes.…”

Zinc (Zn) is an important micronutrient for crop plants and essential for human health. The Zn-deficiency is an important malnutrition problem known globally. Biofortified foods could overcome Zn deficiency in humans. Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is an important, pulse crop frequently grown in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Mungbean could provide essential micronutrients, including Zn to humans. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the impact of Zn fertilization on the yield and grain biofortification of mungbean. Twelve mungbean genotypes (i.e., NM-28, NM-2011, NM-13-1, NM-2006, NM-51, NM-54, NM-19-19, NM-92, NM-121-25, NM-20-21, 7006, 7008) were assessed for their genetic diversity followed by Zn-biofortification, growth and yield under control (0 kg ha-1) and Zn-fertilized (10 kg ha-1) conditions. Data relating to allometric traits, yield components, grain yield and grain Zn contents were recorded. Zinc fertilization improved entire allometric and yield-related traits. Grain yield of different genotypes ranged from 439 to 904 kg ha-1 under control and 536 to 1462 kg ha-1 under Zn-fertilization. Zinc concentration in the grains varied from 15.50 to 45.60 mg kg-1 under control and 18.53 to 64.23 mg kg-1 under Zn-fertilized conditions. The tested genotypes differed in their Zn-biofortification potential. The highest and the lowest grain Zn contents were noted for genotypes NM-28 and NM-121-25, respectively. Significant variation in yield and Zn-biofortification indicated the potential for improvement in mungbean yield and grain Zn-biofortification. The genotypes NM-28 and NM-2006 could be used in breeding programs for improvement in grain Zn concentration due to their high Zn uptake potential. Nonetheless, all available genotypes in the country should be screened for their Zn-biofortification potential.

“…Zinc (Zn) nutrition plays a vital role in crop production and important for getting higher crop yields (Arif, Ali, Khan, Jan, & Akbar, 2006;Haider, Hussain, & Farooq, 2019). The Zn plays key roles in chlorophyll synthesis, pollination and fertilization process, and seed germination (Cakmak, 2008;Souza, Moraes, & Moreira, 2019).…”

“…The application of Zn has been found to improved number of seeds per plant, which ultimately contributed to higher productivity of mung bean (Rahman, Adan, Chowdhury, Ali, & Mahabub, 2015;Haider et al, 2018b). The Zn can be applied via soil, seed, and foliage to improve the productivity of arable crops grown in Zn-deficit soils (Khan, Hassan, & Maitlo, 2006;Haider et al, 2018aHaider et al, , 2019. Zinc sulphate (ZnSO 4 ) is the leading Zn fertilizer used worldwide, which contains Zn along with sulfur (Aye, 2011).…”

Minerals’ deficiency, including iodine (I), vitamin A, iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) is a widespread threat to mankind. Around 2 billion people (children, women, and people of middle age group) across the globe suffer from mineral deficiencies. The productivity of mung bean is very low in arid and semi-arid regions due to little or no application of fertilizers. Majority of mung bean growing regions of Pakistan have low Zn concentration in soils. This study evaluated the impact of different Zn sources and their application methods on allometry, yield and grain biofortification of mung bean. Mung bean variety “Azri 2006” was used as experimental material. Three different Zn sources, i.e., zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), Zn-EDDHA and 50 % ZnSO4 + 50% Zn EDDHA. Application method included in the study was basal application, foliar application and 50% basal + 50% foliar application. The results indicated that Zn application improved allometric traits and productivity of mungbean. The ZnSO4 source of Zn with basal application resulted in the highest chlorophyll contents, leaf area index, number of sympodial and monopodial branches, and number of pods per plant, 1000-seeds weight, biological yield and seed yield as compared to control treatment. In conclusion, 10 kg ha-1 Zn application as basal application method seemed a viable option to improve mung bean productivity along with higher grain Zn biofortification.
