| dc.description.abstract | The practice of intensive cropping with hybrid varieties for boosting food production in India has caused nutrient depletion in soil, consequently macro and micronutrient deficiencies are reported in soils of India. Further, micronutrient deficient soils result in production of food/feed/fodder low in micronutrient content/density and that in the long-run have been inflicting their deficiency in humans and animals. Hence, the rampant micronutrient deficiency in soils has resulted in increased incidence of micronutrients deficiencies in animals and humans in recent years and taking a toll on the food and economic security of the country in terms of the yield and economic losses due to unmatched yield goals (Shukla et al., 2014). Attempts are made to enhance micronutrient content in cereal grains and there is a need to explore the possibility of such improvements in other locally available food crops. One such crop that could be considered suitable for this purpose is of the genus Amaranthus. The amaranth grains contain relatively higher iron content than in cereal grains. | en_US |
