Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Plant nutrition represents a crucial area in sustainable development and has contributed to the growth of the global human population. On the other hand, ineffective plant nutrition can lead to significant environmental risks. Scientific research is therefore very important to prevent this and to show the new possibilities. We invite researchers to publish their promising results in the area of plant nutrition in the third volume of this Special Issue. The main areas of interest are as follows:
- Influence of fertilizer on nutrient cycling in the environment;
- New fertilizing strategies, such as biostimulants and fertilizing with waste materials;
- Improvement of plant nutrition acquisition and efficiency, e.g., plant breeding;
- Analytical methods and techniques in plant nutrition;
- Precision agriculture—local fertilizer application and use of GPS and GIS systems;
- Biofortification—improvement of food (feed) quality due to plant nutrition.
Furthermore, the results of long-term observation are strongly welcomed. In the case of pot or screening experiments, the studied mechanisms must be thoroughly described in order to support their reproducibility in subsequent studies.
Dr. Martin Kulhanek
