Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Welcome to the 1st International Electronic Conference on Horticulturae: “Sustainable Advances in Horticulture for Producing More with Less in the New Challenging World” (https://sciforum.net/event/IECHo2022), to be held on 3–17 February 2022. We are looking forward to seeing you at our event. The Special Issue will publish selected papers from the Proceedings volume associated with our event on sciforum.net, an online platform for hosting scholarly e-conferences and discussion groups.
Through the 1st Electronic Conference on Horticulturae, we aim to promote and advance the exciting and rapidly changing field of horticulture. The conference will include several special sections which embrace the most important research opportunities in Horticultural Science. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Advances in vegetable production systems;
- Advances in fruit production systems;
- New trends on medicinal, herbs, and specialty crops;
- The hidden potential of urban horticulture;
- Organic horticulture;
- Propagation and seeds in a globalized world;
- How to increase plant nutrition with no negative effect on the environment;
- Overcoming abiotic and biotic stress;
- Managing new plant pest and diseases;
- Outreach, extension, and education on horticulture advances.
