Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change and its effects, such as unpredictability and instability in rainfall patterns, have affected the agricultural sector. Climate change is seriously affecting agricultural production and food security. Projected changes in global climate conditions over the coming decades are expected to further decrease world crop yields on a global scale. Implementing practices like conservation tillage, crop rotation, and cover cropping helps sequester carbon, improve soil health, and reduce water usage. Additionally, sustainable farming practices contribute to biodiversity conservation, which is vital for maintaining ecosystem resilience in the face of climate change. There is a need to develop crop management innovations that address the negative impacts of climate change on man, animals, and the environment through the greater use of technological innovations through scientific research. Agricultural production can benefit already from small changes at the tactical level, such as adjustments to sowing dates, fertilization intensity, and the breeding of drought-tolerant cultivars.
This Special Issue is focused on the ‘New Insights in Crop Management to Respond to Climate Change’. We welcome high-quality submissions related to the improvement of plant agrotechnics and the post-harvest treatment of consumable as well as herbal raw materials. In particular, this will include new research focusing on all related topics, including vegetables, spices, and medicinal plants, the improvement of plant quality, post-harvest consumer and herbal raw material processing, the evaluation of the quality of plant raw materials and products, modern and more precise research methods, etc.
