16. • Bio-fortification refers to the process by which food crops are
improved by the application of biotechnology, conventional
plant breeding, and agronomic practices to increase the
bioavailability of their nutritious components to
human consumers.
• The bio-fortification of staple crops is a long-term,
sustainable solution to address nutritional
inadequacies.
• It is a practical and cost-effective way to provide
micronutrients to communities that have limited access to
various meals and other micronutrient therapies.
• Existing therapies, such as supplementation and industrial food
ABOUT BIO-FORTIFICATION
• Existing therapies, such as supplementation and industrial food
fortification, which are insufficient to eliminate micronutrient
deficiencies on their own, are complemented by
bio-fortification.
• Bio-fortification offers two substantial competitive advantages:
the capacity to reach underserved rural
communities and long-term cost-effectiveness.
• Bio-fortified crops can also be used to target rural
populations with limited access to various dietary options
or other micronutrient therapies.
17. MAJOR CRITERIA OF BIO-FORTIFICATION
CRITERIA
• Micronutrient enrichment
must be effective
• Stability
• High yield
IMPORTANCE
• To improves the plant or crop quality.
• To increase the nutritional quality in daily
diets.
• To overcome malnutrition in human
beings.
• To promote food security.
• High yield
• Efficacious bio availability
• Taste and cooking quality
• Consumer acceptance
• Disease resistance
• To promote food security.
• Application of bio-fortified crops would
benefit farmers by increasing their
income in the long term.
• It is especially important for poor rural
community with finite access to a varied
diet, fortified foods or supplements.

26. Cereal crop is a Staple food for more than half of the world’s
population.
Cereals meet 60% of energy and protein needs of human.
Up to 75% of the daily calorie intake of the developing world people
living in the rural areas comes only from cereal-based foods which are
inherently low in micronutrients specially Fe and Zn (Cakmak,
2012).
A diet of 300-400 g cereal day-1 will supply only 4-6 mg Zn day-1 in
BIO-FORTIFIED CROPS
.
A diet of 300-400 g cereal day-1 will supply only 4-6 mg Zn day-1 in
case of rice and11-18 mg Zn day-1 in case of wheat.

54. Conclusion
Bio-fortification offer sustainable solutions to the escalating
micronutrient-related malnutrition problems.
Agronomic-bio-fortification is the easiest and fastest
way for bio-fortification of cereal grains with minerals.

Plus activities (Value addition)
Two-three foliar sprays of Zn and Fe (0.5% ZnSO4 and FeSO4) on
later growth stages offers a practical and useful means for bio
fortification with Zn and Fe.
Concentration of micronutrients increases 60-80% in cereal
grains and 50-65% in pulses over control.
Foliar application of micronutrients results significantly higher
micronutrient recovery percent over soil application.
