Effect of zn solubilizing bacteria on growth promotion and zn nutrition of rice (2014, background): “The aftermath of low Zn consumption is the impairment in growth and immune functions leading to infectious diseases such as diarrhoea and pneumonia in the developing world (Volkmar and Bremer, 1998; Graham, 2008).”
Soil factors associated with zinc deficiency in crops and humans (2009, background): “As a result, physical growth slows down and excretion is reduced to conserve Zn. Most children suffering from Zn deficiency have stunted linear growth ( Graham 2008 ).”
The Role of Mineral Nutrition on Root Growth of Crop Plants (2011, background): “Knowledge of how plant root systems grow under conservation tillage is important because this practice is widely adopted in many countries around the world, most notably, in countries such as United States, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, and Australia (Bolliger et al., 2006).”
Integrating a broader notion of food security and gender empowerment into the African Green Revolution (2009, background): “Under certain soil conditions, the use of micronutrient fertilizers, in balanced combination with macronutrient fertilizers, has shown promising potential to increase production, disease resistance, stress tolerance, and nutritional quality of crops (Graham et al. 2007; Graham 2008).”
