“…Zn (Zn) is one of the most important micronutrients that is needed in plant tissues in contents ranging from 5 to 100 mg kg -1 for optimum growth and development [1]. The performance and quality of crops can be impacted by Zn deficiency since it can limit Original Research Article growth, stress tolerance, photosynthesis, RNA synthesis, and protein synthesis.…”

During Kharif 2022, an experiment was conducted at Student’s Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab by using a split plot design with three replications of each of the 16 treatments. In comparison to control, main plots with seed inoculation with Bacillus subtilis and soil application of ZnSO4 @ 16.25 kg ha-1 (S3) showed significantly greater yield and quality parameters. In case of sub plot treatments, similar results were seen with foliar spray of ZnSO4 at 45 + 75 DAS (F3).

“…On the other hand, requirements for humans are 8.4 to 10.4 mg/day for children by the age of 2-11 years, 16.4 mg/day for IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1201/1/012067 2 men, and 12.6 mg/day for women. Zinc deficiency in plants causes flowering and fruit development problems, photosynthesis and nitrogen retarding [5,6], a decrease in carbohydrates metabolisms, as well as the yield and nutritional quality of crops. Zinc deficiency in the human body causes chronic problems including metabolic activities and stimulation of the immune system disorder [7].…”

“…Growth-promoting microbial inoculants are influencing plant growth, yield, and nutrient uptake, especially zinc. The unavailable Zn compounds can be converted to available forms through bioaugmentation of microbial inoculants having the ability to solubilize zinc [5,21]. This paper presented the potential of irradiated inoculants consortium in accumulating zinc in grains of rice mutant lines.…”

Some of the microorganisms in soil play important roles in plant performance by improving mineral nutrition. Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient that has various important functions and is only obtained by the intake of foods. Rice is a staple food for Indonesian people. Increasing Zn concentration in rice through fertilization and gamma irradiated inoculants consortium is an effective way to accumulate Zn in rice grains. The objective of this research was to utilize gamma-irradiated inoculants and enhancement of Zn content in rice mutant lines. This study used inoculants consortium from potential microorganisms consisting of Aspergillus niger, Azotobacter sp, Bacillus circulants, and Trichoderma harzianum. They can be used to solubilize metals or minerals that are accumulated in part of the plants. The irradiation of the inoculant was conducted by 250 Gy gamma rays. Seven Mira-1 rice mutant lines together with their wild type, Inpari Nutri Zinc rice variety, were used. Treatment combinations, i.e., Control, T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 were applied to the rice materials randomized block experimental design with three replications. Agronomic characteristics at the vegetative phase were observed and Zn content in rice grain was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The result shows significant differences in agronomic characteristics from different treatments. Zn content in rice mutant lines was higher than their wild type, and the irradiated inoculants consortium was very effective in enhancing Zn content in rice grains. The best treatment for accumulation of Zn in rice grain was irradiated inoculants consortium combined with 10 kg/ha zinc sulfate (treatment T4), resulting in a grain Zn content of 72.19 ppm in the 82 rice mutant line.
