Sustainable strategies are essential for zinc (Zn) biofortification and cadmium (Cd) reduction in staple food crops. Herein, we evaluated the phytotoxicity of Glyzinc under foliar and root application (FA&RA) in a lab-scale experiment, and then investigated its Zn efficiency and Cd reduction through foliar application on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under field conditions. Compared to RA, FA of Glyzinc exhibited no adverse effect on wheat growth and oxidative stresses at all doses. In field conditions, FA of Glyzinc remarkably increased Zn (28.7 %), S (10.4 %), Cu (17.3 %) and crude protein (9.1 %) content in wheat grain at 100 mg/L without damaging wheat yield. Furthermore, FA of Glyzinc significantly reduced the grain phytic acid (PA) (23.7 %) and Cd level (19.5 %), as well as PA to Zn molar ratio (32.3 %). Overall, our results indicate that Glyzinc has great potential as a high-efficiency foliar fertilizer for Zn biofortification and safe crop production in nano-enabled agriculture.
