Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Both iodized salts significantly increased fruit iodine content without affecting plant growth and development.
- Observation Fruit iodine levels ranged from a few mg to 10 mg per kg fresh weight.
- Intervention effect Iodine treatments scarcely affected fruit appearance and quality, even at the highest concentrations.
- Intervention effect KI with low nitrate caused moderate phytotoxicity.
- Intervention effect Organic matter-rich soils improved plant health and production.
- Intervention effect Short room-temperature storage did not reduce fruit iodine if the peel was retained.
- Intervention effect Thirty-minute boiling did not reduce fruit iodine if the peel was retained.
- Recommendation The authors consider tomato suitable for iodine biofortification programs.
