Eco-Friendly Solutions to Enhance Plant Performance and Yield for Climate-Resilient Agriculture

Dear Colleagues,

The open access journal Horticulturae (IF: 3.1; Q1 in Horticulture) is pleased to announce that we have launched a new Special Issue titled “Eco-Friendly Solutions to Enhance Plant Performance and Yield for Climate-Resilient Agriculture”.

In the face of climate change, the global agricultural sector is facing the challenge of maintaining productivity while reducing its environmental footprint. Developing sustainable and eco-friendly strategies to improve plant growth, yield, and stress tolerance is crucial to ensure food security and agricultural resilience. This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research, reviews, and case studies focusing on innovative, sustainable approaches that promote plant health and productivity under climate stress. Multidisciplinary approaches that bridge agronomy, plant science, soil science, and environmental sustainability are welcome.

In particular, we encourage contributions on, but not limited, to the following topics:

• Sustainable agriculture;
• Eco-innovative farming practices;
• Resilient crop production systems;
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation;
• Circular agriculture;
• Biofertilizers and biostimulants;
• Organic soil amendments;
• Beneficial microbes.
