Abstract
The aim of this experiment was to increasing production and iron content of the brown rice, through the biofortification program in paddy fields gripped the iron. The experiment was conducted in the Sub-District of Koto Baru, Dharmasraya, from March to July 2015. The purpose of the experiment is to produce, grain brown rice super high levels of iron, and increased production of brown rice. Methods of bio-fortification with iron in biofortification method in the fields of ferro gripped, by utilizing the technology package can increase production paddy cultivation reached 5.1 Mg ha-1 with the iron levels of 25.6 mg kg-1 Inpari 24.Brown rice tolerant varieties (Inpari 24) + Ameliorant cow manure 10 Mg ha-1 + System of square utama [(7.5 × 7.5 cm) × 25 cm × (7.5 × 7.5 cm)] + One seedling per planting point, age 10 day + plant growth regulators, auxin 5ml liter-1 can be used to achieve the growth and production of the best for brown rice varieties cultivation on paddy fields gripped Fe, especially in Koto Baru, District of Dharmasraya.
