Abstract

Triticum aestivum L. is one of the most produced staple crops worldwide in which its zinc biofortification is of the utmost importance to diminish malnutrition. In addition, the pronounced increase in the human population demands higher food production within quality standards. Zinc plays an important role, not only in promoting the maintenance of human health, but is also linked with plant growth. Under this framework, a zinc agronomic biofortification of Triticum aestivum L. was implemented in an experimental field with two varieties (Paiva and Roxo) in Beja, Portugal. This itinerary comprised two ZnSO4 foliar sprayings along the plant cycle with three different concentrations (control—0; 8.1 and 18.2 kg ha−1). Soil analyses (moisture, organic matter, pH, electrochemical conductivity and mineral quantification) and atomic absorption with the mineral quantification (Ca, K, Mg, P, Fe, Cu and Zn) of whole wheat flours were carried out. Zinc foliar spraying enhanced the Zinc content in both varieties in the flours in which no significant differences between ZnSO4 treatments were observed. P and K presented higher values in the flours, contrasting with Ca and Mg. In general, there were no significant differences between the soil samples in the respective analyses. It was concluded that wheat flour biofortified in zinc can be used as a product to help overcome malnutrition.
