Vegetable Production Systems
A section of Horticulturae (ISSN 2311-7524).
Section Information
The Vegetable Production Systems Section publishes original manuscripts of diverse types related to both open field and protected vegetable production, either in soil or in soilless culture: cultural practices, crop, weed and pest management, soil tillage, organic farming, harvesting and post-harvesting, produce quality, and marketing are some of the topics appropriate for this Section.
We welcome high quality submissions related to vegetable production systems, which may include basic and applied studies. Full experimental and methodological details must be provided for research articles.
In particular, Vegetable Production Systems welcomes contributions by early career researchers and propositions for research topics. In addition, we invite senior scientists to initiate and serve as Guest Editors of new Special Issues on a single and particular theme.
