Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Agriculture

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are one of the most well-known tools of Artificial Intelligence. They are very often utilized for the solution of prediction, approximation, and predictive analytics, and they have been in use in agronomy for quite some time already. They are usually found in precision agriculture tools and as parts of decision support systems for farm management. Artificial neural networks are currently replacing the traditional methods of modeling in agronomy. The variety of applications where artificial neural networks have been applied in agricultural operations is quite large. Researchers worldwide have used artificial neural networks to aid agricultural production processes for a while now, managing to enhance efficiency and produce agricultural products of high quality.

This is a joint Special Issue of Agronomy and AI, titled “Application of Artificial Neural Networks in Agriculture” that the objective of this Special Issue is to publish high-quality research and review papers that describe the development and application of artificial neural networks in facilitating the solution of agronomical tasks and current problems in agronomy.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
