Subtropical Fruits: Sustainable Management, Propagation Techniques and Seedling Production

Dear Colleagues,

The cultivation of various subtropical fruit crops around the world boosts the economies of many countries, supplying the domestic market and enabling competitive international trade. The use of physiological principles to guide orchard management will significantly improve productivity and, consequently, fruit quality. Innovation in plant propagation has supported breeding programs and made it possible to produce high-quality seedlings.

This Special Issue, “Subtropical Fruits: Sustainable Management, Propagation Techniques and Seedling Production”, will present innovative studies, tools, approaches and techniques, as well as any other innovation that has improved the economics of seedling production. In addition, papers discussing useful innovations such as cultivar variability, advanced soil use and management, mechanization processes, training systems, cultural practices such as irrigation, fertilization, canopy density, thinning, pesticide application technology, fruit descriptors and harvesting methods and other post-harvest approaches that improve the profitability and sustainability of subtropical fruit crops are welcome.
