Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticulturae (SCIE-indexed; Tracked for IF) is an open-access journal that has launched a new Special Issue titled "Factors Affecting the Quality and Shelf Life of Horticultural Crops."
Quality and shelf life is an important issue of horticultural crops. This objective can be achieved through 1) the knowledge of growing methods (organic cultivation, conventional cultivation, rock–wool cultivation, and hydroponic culture), 2) the growing conditions (temperature and humidity), 3) treatments (pre- and postharvest), and 4) commercial handling conditions (distribution, transportation, and exportation) of horticultural crops. Therefore, given the expertise in this research area, we would like to invite you to submit an article to the present Special Issue.
Dr. Mohammad Zahirul Islam
Guest Editor
