Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue, entitled "Nutrient Management: Optimizing Yield and Sustainability in Horticultural Crops" is to emphasize the importance of plant nutrition and its impact on horticultural crops, as well as the application of biotic and abiotic stresses for greater agroecosystem sustainability. We invite all researchers working in these areas to submit their contributions for this Special Issue, which will undoubtedly enhance the knowledge of agricultural production. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Plant nutrition and plant stress;
- Nutrition and plant health;
- Organic and inorganic fertilization and agricultural sustainability;
- Macro- and micronutrients in biosimulation for crop yields.
