Cultivating Improved Varieties of Maize Does Not Guarantee Sufficient Dietary Provision of Fe and Zn in a Maize–Bean Intercropping System in Eastern Uganda: Evaluating Effects of Climate and Soil Types

Cultivating Improved Varieties of Maize Does Not Guarantee Sufficient Dietary Provision of Fe and Zn in a Maize–Bean Intercropping System in Eastern Uganda: Evaluating Effects of Climate and Soil Types

Since hunger and malnutrition are affecting billions of people, the effect of cropping seasons, soil types and climatic conditions (temperature and precipitation) on yield, iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) and amino acids content in grains of hybrid maize (<i>Zea mays</i>), at smallholder farms in E...
