Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The production of vegetables and medicinal plants is often carried out under intensive production systems that absorb large amounts of human resources and inputs. These systems, as in large plantations, must enable high productivity to meet consumer market demand without reducing product quality. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt technologies to improve the productivity and quality of these horticultural crops, including fertilization, spacing, training, and cultivation location, among others. This Special Issue of Plants will highlight the phytotechnics and mineral nutrition of vegetables and medicinal plants in different cultivation systems.
