%X Testing of biofortified hybrids across varying pearl
millet-growing regions of India indicated the need for
maintaining sufficient Fe and Zn levels in soil to express
the crops’s full genetic potential and ensure successful
loading of micronutrients in the grain. The study
suggested the need for practicing balanced fertilization
while growing biofortified hybrids to increase grain
yield and micronutrient accumulation in grains.
