Assessing genetic variability of micronutrient content in association with qualitative and quantitative traits in germplasm is prerequisite for effective biofortification programme. Odisha, a state of eastern India is considered as one of the most potential hot spot of diversity of cultivated rice for grain yield and nutritional traits. Significant variability for most of the qualitative and quantitative traits including Fe and Zn content was observed in a set of 293 germplasm with varying kernel colour encompassing 14 districts of Odisha. Mostly these landraces were low yielding with some exception (Haldigundi: AC 36454, 50.08 g/plant). These landraces were mostly represented by medium Fe (10–20 ppm)—medium Zn group (20–30 ppm). Fe and Zn content had positive association with each other and also with grain size. Landraces with red kernel colour were observed to have slightly higher average Zn content (26.30 ppm) as compared to white (25.87 ppm) grains. Diversity analysis of 14 districts revealed that Nayagarh, a south-eastern district was rich in Fe content while Deogarh, Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj, all north-western districts were rich in Zn content. This study identified 10 superior micronutrient dense genotypes with medium to high Fe and Zn content. This set of donors for micronutrient content was validated in another year. Champeisiali (AC 43368) and Gedemalati (AC 34306) with highest Fe (44.1 ppm) and Zn (40.48 ppm) content, respectively were detected over the environments. Identified donors and associated traits could be utilized in biofortificaion programme using appropriate breeding methodologies for enhancing micronutrients in high yielding background.
