Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, climate change, characterized frequently by erratic climate events, has become a stress factor for sustainable crop production. Facing these constraints and for crop adaptation, the exogenous application of substances such as biostimulants, phytohormones, growth regulators, amino acids, and osmoprotectants has gained increased interest from growers, particularly for those who produce perennial crops; however, successful applications have resulted in controversial experiences from an agronomical, physiological, biochemical, chemical, or molecular focus. The introduction of these substances will represent the complementation of agronomical management for crops and requires comprehensive studies focused on management, application, quality, utilization, and collateral responses to plant abiotic and biotic stress, as well as their interaction with the environment. In the context of this Special Issue, the alleviation of the crop stress response by the application of exogenous compounds, alongside the challenge of improving the productivity of major crops under the climate change scenario, will become the greatest challenge to agronomy in the future.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
