Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Potatoes are a dietary staple for billions of people. As a result, they make a significant contribution to global food security. The potato's physiological responses to different cropping systems, irrigation, fertilisation and pest control strategies play a key role in shaping high yields, stress tolerance and accumulation of bioactive compounds. Advances in agrotechnology, genetic modifications and attention to appropriate soil properties significantly influence the crop's ability to adapt to changing climatic conditions and biotic stresses. As part of this Special Issue, we invite submissions examining the impact of different agronomic practices on potato physiology, productivity and stress mitigation. We encourage the submission of a variety of manuscripts, including original research, literature reviews, concept papers and short scientific communications. Our aim is to bring together interdisciplinary insights that will contribute to a deeper understanding of how modern agricultural strategies can optimise potato production while enhancing resilience and sustainability in different agroecosystems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
