Rice grain grown under aerobic condition

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.

An investigation with fourteen genotypes grown under water saving aerobic condition revealed significant difference for all the characters studied except for 1000-grain weight. Number of tillers, and grain yield recorded high phenotypic and high genotypic coefficient of variability. All the characters studied exhibited high heritability and characters like, number of tillers, grain yield and fodder yield recorded high genetic advance as percent over mean.
