Micronutrient application through seed treatments: a review
Open accessAbstract
Micronutrients are vital for plant growth and human health.Soil and foliar applications are the most prevalent methods of micronutrient addition but the cost involved and difficulty in obtaining high quality micronutrient fertilizers are major concerns with these in developing countries.Micronutrient seed treatments, which include seed priming and seed coating, are an attractive and easy alternative.Here in this review, we discuss the potential of micronutrient seed treatments for improving crop growth and grain nutrient enrichment.Micronutrient application through seed treatments improves the stand establishment, advances phenological events, and increases yield and micronutrient grain contents in most cases.In some instances, seed treatments are not beneficial; however, the negative effects are rare.In most cases, micronutrient application through seed treatment performed better or similar to other application methods.Being an easy and cost effective method of micronutrient application, seed treatments offer an attractive option for resourcepoor farmers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
