1. Scope and Policy

AGROSYS welcomes original research articles, review papers, and methodological innovations covering:

(1) crop physiology and production systems;

(2) soil–plant–environment interactions;

(3) sustainable intensification strategies;

(4) climate-smart agriculture;

(5) agroecological system modeling;

(6) precision agronomy and digital agriculture;

(7) seed systems and crop resilience;

(8) weed science and sustainable weed management; and

(9) biological control strategies and the use of bioagents in agriculture (e.g., mycorrhiza and plant growth-promoting microorganisms).

Only manuscripts based on research conducted within the last ten years will be considered for publication.
