About the Special Issue:
The continuously rising demand for agricultural products, a result of the world population growth, has brought several well-known consequences, such as pollution, soil degradation, residues generation, and climate change. Besides the environmental impacts, the productivity of agricultural and horticultural crops is frequently affected by pests, diseases, and natural disasters. It can have severe implications for poverty, food security, nutrition, and health. Therefore, there is a need for research that focuses on the development and utilization of sustainable agricultural practices that take into account productivity and environmental, economic, social, and technological aspects.
This special issue addresses the challenges and limitations of agri-science in tropical and subtropical regions. All types of original submissions are welcome. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
