Trending and Emerging
- Molecular Breeding Techniques:
An increase in studies utilizing molecular markers and genetic mapping tools to enhance breeding programs for traits such as disease resistance and yield potential. - Impact of Climate Change on Crop Production:
Growing interest in understanding how climate variability affects crop physiology and yield, with research focusing on adaptation strategies to mitigate adverse effects. - Sustainable and Organic Farming Practices:
A trend towards exploring sustainable agricultural practices, such as the use of microbial fertilizers and organic amendments, to improve crop yield while maintaining environmental integrity. - Precision Agriculture Technologies:
Emerging research on the application of precision agriculture tools and techniques, such as remote sensing and data analytics, to optimize input use and enhance crop management. - Intercropping and Crop Diversity:
Increased focus on the benefits of intercropping systems and crop diversity for improving yield stability, pest resistance, and soil health.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Crop Protection Methods:
Research focusing on conventional chemical methods for pest and weed control has decreased, possibly due to a growing emphasis on integrated pest management (IPM) and organic farming practices. - General Crop Management Practices:
Less emphasis on broad, non-specific crop management studies, as the journal moves towards more targeted research addressing specific challenges faced by particular crops or regions. - Studies on Non-Field Crops:
A noticeable reduction in papers addressing non-field crops or minor crops, indicating a narrowing focus on major field crops that have significant economic and agricultural importance.
