Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Agriculture is historically vital to the prosperity of civilizations and has withstood the pressure of the environment and population growth due to genetic improvement and plant management. Most agricultural crops are subject to environmental stresses such as drought and salinity. In many cases, these stresses act together, limiting crop productivity. In this view, innovative management strategies can improve the productivity of agricultural crops subjected to unfavorable environmental conditions, such as drought and salinity.
This Special Issue is a continuation of the previous one, focusing on developing and evaluating management strategies for crops subjected to drought and salt stress. For this reason, it welcomes studies of an interdisciplinary nature from research fields related to agriculture, including horticulture, genetics, plant ecophysiology, irrigation, soils, and plant nutrition. Research articles will cover various agricultural crops and solutions for growing them under drought and salt stress conditions. Original research articles and reviews will be accepted.
