Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The assessment of the nutritional status of plants requires the integration of chemical analyses of plant tissues and soil, which are fundamental tools for the management of sustainable agriculture. This approach allows for the efficient identification of nutritional imbalances and the determination of the most limiting nutrients, whether by deficiency or excess, accurately supporting the recommendations for inputs, such as acidity correctives and fertilizers.
Articles addressing concepts related to the interpretation of soil and plant analyses, the definition of nutritional standards, and methods for evaluating the nutritional status of crops are welcome.
