Micronutrient biofortification improves grain yield and quality in rice, highlighting its role in food security.

To explore the effects of micronutrient biofortification on rice plant growth and nutritional quality.
Assessment of plant physiological parameters including chlorophyll content and photosynthesis rate.
Comparison of soil and foliar application methods for Zinc, Selenium, and Iron.
Evaluation of vegetation indices such as Enhanced Vegetation Index.
Zinc treatment significantly improved chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rate, and grain yield.
Rice plants showed enhanced nutritional quality with increased levels of Zinc and Selenium.
Foliar application outperformed soil application in physiological enhancements.

Chen et al. (2026) studied this question.
