Estimating micronutrient

Micronutrient deficiency is a public health problem even though vegetable consumption could avert it. Vitamin C [Ascorbic acid (AA) and dehydroascorbate (DHAA)], β-carotene, lutein and vitamin B9 contents in seven traditional green leafy vegetables (raw and cooked) from Ghana were determined, to identify good sources and their potential contribution to Dietary Recommended Intakes.

Iron and zinc are essential micronutrients for both plant productivity and nutritional quality. Although Fe is the most abundant transitional metal in the world, its chemical properties hinder its availability to plants. The research aimed to compare different genotypes of aerobic rice for their iron and zinc content and measures their comparative losses among different genotypes, from brown to white rice. Quantification of Fe and Zn was estimated by using X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy in brown and white rice.

Protein, micronutrient, antioxidant potential, polyphenols and phytate content of popular hybrids and composites of pearl millet has been estimated for two consecutive seasons. Crude protein content of pearl millet hybrids and composites analyzed varied from 9.49 to 13.09 and 9.05 to 14.73 %, Fe content from 39 to 66 and 22 to 75 mg/kg, Zn content from 32 to 49 and 21 to 56 mg/kg, polyphenols from 210 to 297 mg/100 g and 221 to 345 mg/100 g, and phytate content from 4.74 to 6.29 and 5.54 to 6.67 mg/g during kharif-2013 and kharif-2014, respectively.

An experiment was carried out to investigation mango fruit of variety Kesar, Alphonso, Sonpari and Totapuri were collected at Harvest stage and different part peel, pulp and kernel for estimation of macronutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) and micronutrients (Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu). Nutrient partitioning at harvest stage is revealed maximum N (2.29 %), Mg (0.22 %) and S (0.36 %) content were in peel and highest Ca (0.80 %) accumulation in pulp of Kesar variety.

Present study was conducted out during 2015-2016 in Rewa district of Fiji to evaluate available micronutrient (Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn) status and their relationship with the soil properties. Fifty seven sites were selected for soil sampling. The available micronutrient (DTPA extractable) viz., Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrophotometer.

An investigation was carried out to know the variations in algal floristic and major nutrients of Hassan district soils. During the study periodic trips were made for soil samples. The soil samples were collected from all the eight taluks of Hassan district viz., Alur, Arkalgud, Arsikere, Belur, Channarayapatna, Hassan, Holenarasipura and Sakaleshpura. Collected soil samples were subjected for estimation of algal floristic composition and physic-chemical properties.

An investigation was carried out to estimate the level of selected macro and micronutrients in the soil and fodder of ten tehsils of Udaipur district of Rajasthan. The soil analysis indicated that moderate amount of major nutrients like Phosphorous, Potassium, Magnesium and calcium were present in these soils. This study indicated that the soils of this region were rich in micronutrients viz., Fe and Pb whereas, Mn, Cu and S contents were intermediate in quantity. On the other hand Zn was found to be deficient in these soils. The average Ca content in straws (0.

Generation mean analysis study in cowpea was undertaken to estimate the gene action operating in the inheritance of yield and its components using six basic generations viz. P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 of two different crosses namely PGCP-63 X Pant Lobia-1 and Pant Lobia-3 x Pant Lobia-1 were studied. For most of the studied traits, additive, dominant, additive x additive, additive x dominance and dominance x dominance were significant. Additive effect significantly contributed for number of pods per plant and 100 seed weight.

Marigold organic liquid manure (MOLM) obtained during the processing of marigold flowers was tested in the field with field bean as test crop. Total seven treatments comprising of MOLM mixing with borewell water at different ratios (100:0, 75:25, 50:50 and 25:75 of MOLM: Borewell water) which was compared with the recommended organic liquid manure sources for crop production such as Jeevamrutha @ 2000 L ha-1 and Biodigester liquid @ 3000 L ha-1 .

The Field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2014-15 and 2015-16 to find out the response of mulches and micronutrients on growth and yield of broccoli with an objective to estimate water use and water use efficiency of broccoli. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three main plots (mulches), nine sub plots (micronutrients) and twenty seven interaction treatments (mulches x micro nutrients) and each treatment was replicated thrice.
