Crop Management and Postharvest Handling

Dear Colleauges,

Different crop management strategies have been extensively studied and developed. In this sense, proper crop management could increase productivity, save water and other resources, increase product shelf-life, and improve final product quality. New crop management approaches are related to achieving sustainable crop production based on modern management techniques, such as digital soil mapping, spatial data analysis, remote sensing, and site-specific crop management.

Crop management has been proven to be related to postharvest handling. The relationship between pre and postharvest treatments has been confirmed.

Postharvest technology studies have been focused on product quality, quality loss during transport and storage, quality assessment, control of diseases and disorders, and food safety.

This Special Issue intends to cover the state-of-the-art and recent progress in different aspects related to new crop management strategies and postharvest handling. It will consider proposals to improve productivity with sustainable crop management and efficient postharvest handling.
