Aims and Scope

Aims

Acta Agricultural Sciences is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of agricultural research by publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed articles that contribute to the understanding and improvement of agricultural practices globally. The journal aims to serve as a platform for the dissemination of innovative research findings, fostering collaboration among scientists, practitioners, and policymakers to address current and emerging challenges in agriculture.

Scope

The journal encompasses a comprehensive range of topics within agricultural sciences, including but not limited to:

  • Crop Science: Investigations into plant genetics, breeding methodologies, and physiological processes to enhance crop yield, quality, and resilience.

  • Soil Science: Studies on soil fertility, chemistry, physics, and microbiology, focusing on sustainable soil management practices and the mitigation of soil degradation.

  • Animal Science: Research on animal genetics, nutrition, health, and welfare aimed at improving livestock production systems and ensuring ethical treatment of animals.

  • Agricultural Engineering: Development and optimization of agricultural machinery, irrigation systems, and innovative technologies to increase efficiency and sustainability in farming operations.

  • Agroecology: Examinations of ecological principles applied to agricultural systems, promoting biodiversity, ecosystem services, and sustainable farming practices.

  • Food Science: Research on post-harvest technology, food processing, preservation methods, and safety protocols to ensure the quality and security of the food supply chain.

  • Agricultural Economics and Policy: Analyses of economic factors affecting agriculture, including market dynamics, trade policies, and the socio-economic impacts of agricultural practices.

  • Sustainable Agriculture: Studies on farming practices that meet current food and textile needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs, emphasizing environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity.

  • Plant Pathology and Entomology: Research on plant diseases and insect pests, including their biology, ecology, and management strategies to protect crop health and productivity.

  • Horticulture and Forestry: Studies on the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, ornamental plants, and forest trees, focusing on breeding, genetics, production techniques, and post-harvest handling.
