Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fruit crop cultivation has been an essential component of agriculture for centuries, and it continues to be an important source of food and income worldwide. In recent years, there have been growing efforts aimed at optimizing yields, improving breeding and reducing environmental impacts by incorporating new technologies and scientific advances.
The Special Issue “Advances in Fruit Crop Cultivation and Management: Integrated Approaches for Sustainable Production” aims to highlight cutting-edge research in this area and provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas among researchers, practitioners and policymakers. The scope of the Special Issue includes topics such as new technologies for fruit crop production, integrated pest management, breeding strategies, plant physiology, genetics and biotechnology, with an emphasis on sustainable practices that promote both crop productivity and environmental stewardship. Additionally, several papers address the impact of climate change on fruit crop production, highlighting the need for climate-resilient production systems. All types of articles, such as original research, opinions, case studies and reviews are welcome.
