Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ensuring sustainable agriculture requires efficient nutrient management strategies to promote adequate levels of nutrients in soils towards balanced plant nutrition for high yields of crops. The growing demand for food production calls for innovative approaches to improve nutrient use efficiency and the capacity of soil to provide nutrient for crops, integrating soil systems, fertilizer technologies, and smart fertilization to enhance soil fertility and crop yields. This Special Issue on "Soil Fertility Evaluation and Precision Fertilization" aims to explore cutting-edge research on soil fertility management strategies that support soil health and sustainable agricultural systems. We welcome studies addressing novel fertilization techniques, precision nutrient application, soil amendments, and decision-support tools that contribute to better nutrient management and improved crop productivity. We particularly encourage contributions that investigate innovative fertilizer technologies, soil fertility monitoring, and the development of sustainable fertilization models that promote environmental protection while ensuring high crop yields. Studies that integrate precision agriculture tools, remote sensing, and data-driven approaches to enhance plant nutrition and optimize resource use are also of great interest. This Special Issue offers a platform for advancing knowledge on sustainable soil fertility management, fostering discussions on solutions that align with global agricultural challenges. We invite researchers to submit their latest findings and contribute to shaping the future of precision fertilization.

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. Soil Systems is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1800 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.
