Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Farmers' decision making is an exigent problem that affects socio-economic pathways worldwide. Inevitably, this necessitates the development of innovative multi-dimensional systems based on the agricultural anthropogenic triptych: demand, environment, and cost-effectiveness. Small grains can generate profitable yields for the cash market and farm feeds when soils are properly managed, while the value of the straw harvest is equally crucial for animal production. Consequently, the deeper understanding of small seeds management systems is essential.
This Special Issue focuses on methodologies that can improve small grain cropping systems in order to develop a strong transition from traditional methods to innovative and environmentally friendly practices. Research articles will cover numerous crops on a wide range of topics concerning innovative cultural practices, genotypic interactions, precision agriculture, remote sensing, quality improvement, and low-input practices and methodologies, with some emphasis on climate change and energy-saving approaches in all categories of ecosystems. All types of articles, such as original research articles, reviews, and, notes are welcome. Nevertheless, let us demonstrate with this Special Issue that the pursuit of small grain systems is a worthy goal.
