Sustainable Management and Tillage Practice in Agriculture—2nd Edition

This special issue belongs to the section “Farming Sustainability“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Following the success of the first Special Issue, titled “Sustainable Management and Tillage Practice in Agriculture (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/agronomy/special_issues/HK7A1IO564)”, in Agronomy, the Editorial Office is pleased to launch a second series of the issue.

Sustainable agriculture management aims to maximize crop yields and profitability while minimizing negative impacts on the environment and preserving the health and fertility of the soil. In the modern era, concerns about environmental degradation, climate change, and food security have led to a renewed focus on sustainable management and tillage practices in agriculture.

This Special Issue will focus on research and advancements in practices and technologies that promote sustainable agriculture and improve soil health through effective agriculture management. Some examples of cutting-edge research on this topic include precision agriculture, conservation agriculture, integrated pest management, and so on.

We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research or review manuscripts focused on (but not limited to) the following topics:

  • Soil health and crop productivity.
  • Reduction in soil erosion and compaction.
  • Agro-ecosystem sustainability strategies.
  • The Optimization and sustainability assessment of regional agricultural production patterns.
  • The role of precision agriculture and other technologies in optimizing tillage practices.
  • Case studies of successful sustainable tillage management in different agricultural systems.
  • The economic and environmental benefits of sustainable agriculture management.
  • The management and efficient utilization of soil nutrients in farmland.
  • Carbon sequestration and emission reduction.
