Aims & Scope

Journal of Plant Nutrition serves as a comprehensive, convenient source of new and important findings exploring the influence of currently known essential and nonessential elements on plant physiology and growth. The journal emphasizes high value, intensive crop production in both horticulture and agronomic systems. Beneficial elements, symbiotic relationships between bacteria and fungi and crop yield, and the role of plant nutrients in disease control are some of the topics covered in addition to essential plant nutrients. Refereed by an internationally renowned editorial board ensuring the high level of scholarship, Journal of Plant Nutrition provides insightful coverage of nutritional topics, such as: -Hydroponic and greenhouse crop nutrient requirements and factors influencing plant nutrition -Nutrition involving container production -Media analysis of pine bark, peat, and artificial media -Interpretation/correlation of soil and plant analysis -Intensive production of agronomic and vegetable crops -Production and nutritional requirements of fruit, ornamental, floriculture, tropical, and foliage plants -Use of precision agriculture for nutritional requirements of crops -Plant growth promoting bacteria and elemental nutrition interactions as related to crop yield Journal of Plant Nutrition serves as a platform for researchers to present their findings to an international audience, which will help to develop research programs that will further our knowledge of plant nutrition. It is also an invaluable resource utilized by growers and consultants to develop operational fertility regimes that are based upon the current peer reviewed publications.
