Iodine Agronomic Biofortification of Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) and Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) Is Effective under Farmer Field Conditions
Iodine (I) is an essential micronutrient, which plays a critical role in human metabolism.However, its concentration is known to be low in most soils, making it deficient in crops. With most Iagronomic biofortification studies conducted under controlled environments, limited informationcurrently exists on this approach of enriching I deficient crops under farmer field conditions. Two-yearfield experiments were conducted in 2017 and 2018 to examine efficacy of cowpea and cabbage in theuptake...
