Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticultural crops are an important source of income with high nutritional, medicinal, and industrial significance.
However, the increasing demand for horticultural crops could be affected by inconveniences such as biotic and abiotic stresses. Currently, most farmers use agrochemicals as a standard method of managing those problems, which has huge implications for human health and the environment.
Therefore, there is a need to find viable alternatives to address horticultural crop production, while promoting sustainable management and preserving living health.
This Special Issue welcomes studies regarding, but not limited to, biostimulants, biofertilizers, biological control agents, and bioherbicides, among other alternatives for producing horticultural crops.
