Sorghum is a promising wheat substitute that thrives on marginal lands. However, research on enhancing zinc (Zn) content in sorghum grain using zinc-solubilizing bacteria (ZSB)-enriched organic fertilizer remains limited in Indonesia. This study aimed to improve organic fertilizer quality biofortified with ZSB and assess its impact, in combination with
