About This Special Issue
Scientific articles are used around the world to understand the relationships that exist not only in terrestrial life but in the universe, and understanding plants is paramount to human life, which is dependent on food for the survival of its species. Production systems in different parts of the world have their particularities, adversities and conflicts; In order to meet the wishes of the scientific community around the world and farmers, the use of information obtained through research is an excellent resource for the best economic and sustainable use. Knowledge of alternative sources can provide the basis for the development of production systems that optimize available resources, such as the environment in which they are inserted.
Given the growing concern about the environmental and especially economic aspects that govern modern agriculture, it is of utmost importance to use information that maximizes the knowledge of the scientific community, which is obtained through scientific articles available worldwide. The purpose of this edition is to provide information on management strategies of various crops that maximize the use of available resources such as land use and conservation and plant management to increase agricultural productivity of the world's major crops; provide information on management strategies that minimize adversity; indicate management practices for those aiming at sustainability and the success of agricultural use of soils. In addition to providing information for future researchers in the most diverse fields of knowledge.
