Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The adoption of sustainable crop and soil management systems is essential for maintaining the long-term production capacity of soil; it is also crucial for increasing crop yields in order to meet the global food demands. Soil conservation tillage (such as no-till farming) and integrated production, which combines agricultural, livestock, and forestry activities within the same area, are some of the main strategies that can be utilized for achieving these objectives. This Special Issue of Plants presents novel research findings encompassing these sustainable crop systems for improving soil quality and increasing crop yields.
This Special Issue will outline the interactions between soil management and plant yields in sustainable crop systems.
