Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect In X05TH20-2, seed iron rose from 57 to 59 micrograms per gram after fertilizer.
- Intervention effect In CDC Frontier, seed iron rose from 56 to 58 micrograms per gram after fertilizer.
- Observation Biofortified seeds of the two cultivars can provide approximately 6 mg Fe per 100 g seed.
- Observation A 67 g serving of biofortified seed can provide half the recommended Fe allowance for men.
- Observation A 150 g serving of biofortified seed can provide half the recommended Fe allowance for women.
