Dear Colleagues,
We are thrilled to welcome you to the upcoming 4th International Electronic Conference on Agronomy (IECAG 2024), proudly sponsored by the MDPI open access journal Agronomy. In line with our commitment to fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, this electronic conference provides a unique platform for researchers to showcase their work, discuss groundbreaking findings, and engage in meaningful conversations with fellow experts.
At this conference, we will analyze the latest advances in the field of agriculture with the aim of maximizing the use of resources, reducing its impact and achieving more sustainable and efficient production. The topics analyzed will be as follows:
- Breeding/selection technologies and strategies;
- Sustainable soil management and farming systems;
- Resilient horticultural production systems;
- Permanent and rotational grassland and weed management;
- Precision and digital agriculture;
- Water use and irrigation;
- Plant–crop biology and biochemistry
- Biostimulation and biocontrol microbial-based strategies.
We look forward to having fruitful discussions and exchanging ideas during this conference, and eagerly await to receive your contribution.
Dr. José David Flores-Félix
Guest Editor
