Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the search for strategies that increase food production and reduce losses caused by phytopathogens is a major challenge in agriculture. The intensive application of agrochemicals has lead to pervasive environmental problems in the ecosystem and in human health. In this regard, nanotechnology emerges as a relevant strategy through which to improve plant growth and nutrition, as well as its potential application in order to control phytopathogens.
The key motivation behind this Special Issue on “Advances and Applications of Sustainable Nanotechnology in Agricultural Industrial Processes” is to collect information about the current knowledge and challenges that exist regarding the research of nanotechnology, so that innovative tools can be developed in order to improve the quality and yield of food, thus mitigating the current problems related to the excessive application of agrochemicals, soil deterioration and effects derived from climate change. The MDPI journal Processes and this Special Issue invite you to submit original research and review articles that provide an overview of the application of nanoparticles and their ability to improve growth and protect plants.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
