Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to submit research papers, review articles, or short communications to the Agronomy Special Issue entitled “Bioactive Compounds for Plant Health and Protection”.
New plant protection techniques are being rapidly developed and employed to improve the health of plants with enhanced performance, quality, biotic and abiotic tolerance, and resistance. Bioactive compounds have been widely used for plant health improvement. I invite you to submit articles involving bioactive compounds and their application for the improvement of agricultural crops. These can include articles discussing how these compounds can contribute to meeting the challenges of the increasing demand, climate change, sustainability, and the reduction in environmental impact. In addition, traditional and novel techniques for the isolation, identification, and application of new compounds are welcome.
