Aminocore micronutrient products for biofortification

Micronutrient deficiencies are widespread around the world, with a lack of zinc and iron particularly worrying. These deficiencies typically decrease yields before the full symptoms hit and are made worse by farming practices such as adding lime to acid soils. The general growth in crop yields is another contributor to the progressive depletion of soil micronutrient pools.

Crop biofortification involves using plant biotechnology to improve soil vitamin and mineral levels and is an established means to address micronutrient deficiencies.
