Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to cover a wide range of topics in horticulture, certain themes have shown a decline in frequency and relevance in recent publications. These waning scopes may reflect changing priorities in research or shifts in the horticultural sector.
  1. Traditional Pest Control Methods:
    There has been a noticeable decrease in studies focusing solely on conventional chemical pest control methods, as the field shifts towards integrated and organic pest management strategies.
  2. Basic Horticultural Techniques:
    Research centered on basic horticultural practices, such as simple cultivation methods or common plant care techniques, has diminished in favor of more advanced studies involving biotechnological or sustainable practices.
  3. Ornamental Plant Studies:
    The focus on ornamental horticulture appears to be declining, with less emphasis on decorative plants compared to the increasing interest in food production and functional horticulture.
  4. Soil Fertility Studies:
    While still relevant, studies specifically targeting traditional soil fertility management are less prevalent, as there is a growing focus on holistic approaches integrating soil health with plant physiology and biochemistry.
