Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fruit growing is one of the agricultural activities that has grown the most globally in recent years, being of great importance in generating employment and income, especially in developing countries. The cultivation of fruit plants plays an important role in environmental aspects, as it allows the occupation of soils considered unsuitable for conventional agricultural activity, thus contributing to a more conservationist system. In recent years, several changes have occurred in the management adopted in production areas, due to the emergence and use of new technologies that seek to increase the productivity of orchards and produce better quality fruit with the least possible environmental impact.
The objective of this Special Edition "Sustainable Fruit Crop Production: Innovative Orchard Cultivation and Management Technologies" is to present results of innovative research recently developed by researchers around the world that contribute to a more sustainable production of fruit trees.
