Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil fertility is the key expression of soil ability to support plant nutrient needs. In cultivated systems, this concept takes great importance. Indeed, the constant increase in the world population, the decrease in arable land, the processes of desertification and soil erosion, the climate crisis, and the growing demand for food security and safety are the main factors impacting the fertility of the world’s soil. For these reasons, soil fertility management in cultivated systems requires major attention from the scientific community and farmers.
This Special Issue aims to host cutting-edge research or review articles that highlight how research and agronomic techniques both today and in the future will be able to give answers to these challenges in different countries. We believe that only with "more research per hectare" will we be able to give concrete answers to the challenges that await us.
