Advances in Soil Fertility Management for Sustainable Crop Production (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

As our agricultural systems face mounting challenges due to climate change, soil degradation, and limited resources, it is crucial that we deepen our understanding of the intricate relationships between soil health, nutrient management, and crop productivity.

This Special Issue aims to showcase  the latest research and reviews that delve into innovative strategies, technologies, and practices for optimizing soil fertility to ensure sustainable crop production. Contributors are invited to submit review articles or original research papers focusing on a wide range of topics, including but not limited to soil health assessment, nutrient management, soil amendments, cover cropping, precision agriculture, organic farming practices, and the impact of climate change on soil fertility.

Contribute to advancing sustainable crop production by exploring innovative soil fertility management strategies. Together, we can foster a more resilient and productive future for agriculture.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
