Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crop plants cannot survive without plant nutrients. Essential nutrients have some specific roles in plants to maintain their growth and physiology. Both the deficiency and toxicity of those nutrients may lead to severe consequence to plant's life. Many agronomic crops under field condition lose their yield due to the improper nutrition. Therefore, understanding the role of plant nutrients in agronomic crops is very important. With the increase of global population, the demand for food crops, oil, fiber and other by-products yielding crops has been increasing. To boost up the food production, agronomic management such as nutrient management is one of the vital tasks for plant agronomists and plant biologists. Scientists have been trying to understanding the physiological basis of plant-nutrient interaction. In this special issue will focus on the most recent work on the role of plant nutrients in agronomic crops.
This Special Issue will focus on
· Functions of plant nutrients at cellular levels
· Role of Macronutrients in plant growth, development and yield· Role of Macronutrients in plant growth, development and yield
· Trace elements in crop production
· Transport and metabolism of plant nutrients in crops
· Nutrient homeostatic and plant production
· Plat nutrition and abiotic stress tolerance
· Foliar fertilization: principles and practices
· Fertilizer management for agronomic crops

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
