Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Global agricultural production has encountered numerous challenges arising from various biotic and abiotic environmental factors. Several crops have exhibited increased resilience after being subjected to treatments with signalling compounds, differential mineral nutrition, fungi, bacteria, and other exogenous interventions. Researching potential strategies to increase the resistance of plants to environmental changes is critical for enhancing crop productivity. Thus, we invite researchers and experts to contribute to this Special Issue with high-quality papers focusing on a comprehensive exploration of the theme “Mitigating Effect of Exogenous Treatments Against Stress in Plants”. Original research, reviews, and methodological papers that contribute to a better understanding of how exogenous treatments can mitigate environmental stresses in agricultural settings are welcome. Submissions will be peer-reviewed for their scientific rigor and potential impact on the field.

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. Agronomy 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 2600 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.
