Recent Progress in Plant Nutrition Research and Plant Physiology: 2nd Edition
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second edition of the Topic “Recent Progress in Plant Nutrition Research and Plant Physiology”, available at https://www.mdpi.com/topics/454G9B9NQ1.
The optimum sustainable development of crops is dependent upon soil fertility, especially in terms of physical, chemical, and biological fertility. These aspects of soil work in harmony to promote beneficial interactions so as to ensure optimal plant nutrition, favoring 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, the use of biostimulants (amino acids, hormones, silicon, selenium), biofortification, and the use of agricultural sensors to quickly assess the nutritional status of crops.
