Mineral Composition and Baking Value of the Winter Wheat Grain under Varied Environmental and Agronomic Conditions by Iwona Jaskulska, Dariusz Jaskulski, Lech Gałęzewski, Tomasz Knapowski, Wojciech Kozera, Roman Wacławowicz

“…The environmental conditions and agronomic management practices did not have a significant effect on the content of mineral nutrients in grain, except for calcium. The biofortification with mineral nutrients in prime-quality winter wheat cultivar grain by selecting the environmental and agronomic conditions seems more difficult than increasing the content of organic compounds and enhancement of flour and bread parameters.…”
