Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, there have been many changes in world agriculture, including crop production in particular. These changes include the development of cultivation technologies, use of fertilizers, pesticides, new machinery, methods of soil tillage and the cultivation of new varieties/hybrids. Meanwhile, new challenges have emerged in terms of the quality of plant products as a result of changing consumer expectations, from the processing industry and the field of related sciences (in human nutrition). In addition, quality testing methods have changed as an increasing number of instruments are introduced in the analytical process.
As a consequence, today, instead of atomic absorption instruments, element content is measured by ICP while a multitude of rheological analyses are used to classify winter wheat and flours. The use of HPLC measurement techniques in the study of biologically active compounds has become common as well. During these processes, we need to address the issues of how the parameterized quality of products changes in the transforming crop production. Meanwhile, we also need to provide data on the changes in quality that result from an increase in average temperature and the CO2 content of the air. The results of agronomic and climate-related term effects will also contribute to science with new results.
I cordially invite you to share the most important achievements of your research work with readers.
