Recent Progress in Plant Nutrition Research and Plant Physiology
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Optimum sustainable development of crops depends on soil fertility in terms of physical, chemical, and biological fertility. These soil aspects in harmony promote a beneficial interaction to ensure optimal plant nutrition, favoring the physiological aspects and strengthening the antioxidant defense system and, consequently, crop productivity. Currently, there is evidence of advances in plant nutrition based on research involving nanotechnology, soil microbiology, use of biostimulants (amino acids, hormones, silicon, selenium), biofortification, and use of agricultural sensors to quickly assess the nutritional status of crops.
