Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies in cereals are major nutritional challenges. Cyanobacteria-based biofertilizers have shown potential in micronutrient mobilization, but their role in Fe/Zn uptake, translocation, and accumulation in maize kernels remains less explored. This study evaluated cyanobacterial formulations Anabaena torulosa and two biofilms - A. torulosa with Trichoderma viride (An-Tr)...
