Zinc deficient (low zinc content) rice is a cause of serious health problem for many rice eater people. Zinc deficiency is also a main reason of low productivity of rice. By changing rice cultivation management we can improve zinc availability for rice crop and crop yield. Better management and availability of zinc may improve zinc content in rice. So any individual and institution who have zinc analysis facility and interested for this study we can work together. I will take all responsibility of field work but I need partner for laboratory analysis of final product.
You can contact a scientist from Directorate of Rice Research, Hyderabad. I hope they have this facility and you can have a collaboration with DRR scientists.
