- Observation Agronomic micronutrient fertilizer strategies give immediate but short term benefits influenced by environment.
- Observation High mineral germplasm, wild relatives, and pigmented varieties expand potential nutritional improvement.
- Observation Microbial and biotechnological interventions show promise as complementary biofortification strategies.
- Recommendation Successful biofortification depends on integrating agronomic, genetic and biotechnological approaches while maintaining performance and acceptance.
- Recommendation Future work should optimize nutrient bioavailability and breeding efficiency and strengthen collaborations.
