Aims and Scopes

The journal 'AGRONOMIA MESOAMERICANA' focuses on advancing agricultural science and practices in the Mesoamerican region through empirical research and innovative methodologies. It emphasizes sustainable agricultural practices, crop management, livestock production, agroecological systems, and the integration of biotechnology and environmental considerations in agriculture.
  1. Sustainable Agriculture Practices:
    Research emphasizing eco-friendly techniques, soil health, and sustainable management practices to enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impacts.
  2. Crop and Livestock Management:
    Studies focusing on the management of various crops and livestock species, including nutritional studies, breeding, and management practices to improve yield and quality.
  3. Agroecology and Biodiversity:
    Exploration of agroecological principles that enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural systems, including studies on intercropping and agroforestry.
  4. Biotechnological Innovations:
    Research on the application of biotechnological methods in agriculture, including genetic engineering, microbial inoculants, and biofertilizers to enhance crop production.
  5. Nutritional and Sensory Analysis:
    Investigations into the nutritional value and sensory characteristics of agricultural products, contributing to food quality and safety.
  6. Soil and Water Management:
    Studies on soil health, erosion control, water use efficiency, and irrigation techniques to improve agricultural resilience.
The journal has recently seen an increase in publications centered around emerging themes in agricultural research. These trends reflect the evolving challenges and opportunities in the agricultural sector within Mesoamerica.
  1. Climate-Resilient Agriculture:
    Research focusing on practices that enhance the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change is on the rise, addressing immediate concerns of food security and sustainability.
  2. Agroecological Systems:
    There is a growing interest in agroecological approaches that integrate ecological principles into farming, promoting biodiversity and sustainable land use.
  3. Nutritional Quality and Functional Foods:
    An increase in studies examining the nutritional profiles and potential health benefits of agricultural products, including functional foods, reflects a broader public interest in health and wellness.
  4. Digital Agriculture and Precision Farming:
    Emerging technologies in agriculture, including precision farming techniques and data analytics, are gaining traction as farmers seek to optimize resources and improve yield efficiency.
  5. Biological Control and Integrated Pest Management (IPM):
    Research on biological control methods and integrated pest management strategies is trending, emphasizing sustainable practices that reduce reliance on chemical pesticides.

Declining or Waning

In recent years, certain themes within 'AGRONOMIA MESOAMERICANA' have seen a decline in focus. This may reflect changing agricultural priorities, funding shifts, or evolving research interests within the field.
  1. Traditional Crop Varieties:
    There has been a noticeable reduction in studies focusing on traditional or heirloom crop varieties, as the emphasis shifts toward genetically enhanced or hybrid crops that promise higher yields.
  2. Conventional Pest Control Methods:
    Research on traditional pest control methods is diminishing, likely due to the growing interest in integrated pest management and organic farming practices that prioritize sustainability.
  3. Single Crop Systems:
    The focus on monoculture or single crop systems is waning as more research highlights the benefits of diversification and polyculture systems for ecological balance and resilience.
  4. Livestock Production without Environmental Considerations:
    Studies that do not incorporate environmental impact assessments in livestock production are becoming less common, as sustainability becomes a central theme in agricultural research.
  5. Chemical Fertilization Practices:
    There is a decline in papers focusing solely on chemical fertilization methods, with a shift towards organic and sustainable fertilization techniques that enhance soil health.
