Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we announce the initiation of a new journal, Agrochemicals, which aims to cover all scientific aspects that are related to this area. Agrochemicals constitute an extremely wide area of research that includes different types of substances, different uses, as well as different target applications, environmental aspects, and socioeconomic projections. As such, the agro-food sector still heavily relies on the use of agrochemicals as the main weapon against pests, diseases and weeds, but also in plant growth regulation, soil improvement, and many more. In this context, in order to celebrate the initiation of Agrochemicals, we are pleased to announce this Special Issue (SI), with the ambition to cover all aspects from mode of action to consumers’ acceptance and from natural pesticides to synthesis and efficacy. We consider that this SI, which is going to be the first SI of Agrochemicals, should have the same broad character as the journal itself and cover regulate articles, reviews, and short communications in all aspects that are related to this exciting topic. We expect that this SI will be an important scientific forum in the extremely demanding and often unexplored area of agrochemicals, and we encourage colleagues from around the globe to submit their articles.
