A Model-Based Approach to Crop Yield Forecasting and Predictive Mapping of Soil Properties in Precision Agriculture

Dear Colleagues,

Precision agriculture stands at the forefront of transformative innovations, revolutionizing how we approach crop management and soil optimization. This Special Issue is dedicated to unraveling the intricacies of a model-based approach, a paradigm that holds immense potential in advancing our understanding of two critical facets: crop yield forecasting and predictive mapping of soil properties. This Special Issue is a call to action for researchers and professionals passionate about shaping the future of precision agriculture. We invite submissions that showcase innovative models, methodologies, and case studies related to crop yield forecasting and predictive mapping of soil properties. Share your expertise and contribute to the collective knowledge that propels the field forward.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
