Dear scientists, researchers, and authors,

We are pleased to announce that the 1st International Electronic Conference on Agronomy (IECAG 2021), chaired by Prof. Dr. Youssef Rouphael, will be held on https://iecag2021.sciforum.net from 3 to 17 May 2021.

This conference aims to provide leading scientists working in the field of agronomy with a platform where they can share and discuss the latest research and promote the advancement of this exciting and rapidly changing field. We hope to encourage discovery across the discipline as we cover the following seven topics, as listed below:

• Application of New Breeding Technologies to Crop Improvement
• Sustainable Management Practices for Soil Health and Food Security
• Agronomic Innovations for Sustainable Intensification of Horticultural Production Systems
• Challenges in Grassland Agro-Ecology in a Global Change Context
• Weed Invasion, Biology and Management in Agricultural Settings
• Sustainable and Resilient Farming Systems
• Precision and Digital Agriculture

We proudly invite the global community of scholars to join IECAG 2021 to present their latest research and developments and share novel ideas on all multidisciplinary aspects of agronomy. Thanks to the flexibility of our innovative electronic platform, you are welcome both to upload and present your work and to attend the conference completely free of charge. We are also considering creating a Special Issue for selected conference papers in our journal Agronomy (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/Agronomy/special_issues/IECAG2021). In this case, papers published in this Special Issue would receive a 20% discount on the article processing charge.

IECAG 2021 offers you the opportunity to participate in an international scholarly conference without the concerns and expense of travelling—all you need is access to the Internet. During the conference period, you will be able to upload papers, posters, and presentations (including videos) and to comment on other presentations and otherwise engage with fellow scholars in real time. In this way, the conference offers a novel opportunity to exchange opinions and views within the scholarly community and to discuss papers and the latest research in a discussion forum. A number of live online sessions are planned throughout the duration of the conference. During each session, participants will have the possibility to ask questions during the Q&A session. The live sessions are free for authors. Authors with submissions to IECAG 2021 will be given priority for registration (with no extra cost) to the live online sessions with our keynote speakers.
