Focus and Scope

AGROSYS: Journal of Agronomy and Sustainable Crop Systems is an international peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in agronomy through systems-based approaches. The journal promotes integrative research that connects soil, plant, climate, management, and technology within sustainable crop production frameworks.

In response to global challenges—including climate change, land degradation, food security, and resource limitations—AGROSYS emphasizes interdisciplinary and evidence-based research that strengthens resilient crop systems across diverse agroecological zones. Particular attention is given to ecological processes and biological interactions that enhance system sustainability, including biological soil management and plant–microbe symbioses.

This journal is published by the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Lampung. The journal welcomes original research articles, reviews, and methodological innovations covering:

  1. Crop Physiology & Production Systems: Understanding plant growth processes and optimizing cropping systems for higher productivity and efficiency.
  2. Soil–Plant–Environment Interactions: Exploring the dynamic relationships between soil properties, plant performance, and environmental conditions to improve crop outcomes.
  3. Sustainable Intensification: Enhancing agricultural productivity while minimizing environmental impact through efficient resource use and ecological approaches.
  4. Climate-Smart Agriculture: Developing adaptive farming strategies that increase resilience to climate variability while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
  5. Agroecological System Modeling: Applying simulation and modeling tools to analyze and design resilient, ecosystem-based agricultural systems.
  6. Precision Agronomy & Digital Agriculture: Leveraging data, sensors, and digital tools to optimize input use and improve decision-making in farming.
  7. Seed Systems & Crop Resilience: Strengthening seed quality, diversity, and distribution systems to support resilient and adaptable crop production.
  8. Weed Science & Sustainable Weed Management: Integrating ecological and management strategies to control weeds while reducing reliance on herbicides.
  9. Biological Control & Bioagents in Agriculture: Utilizing beneficial organisms such as mycorrhiza and plant growth-promoting microbes to enhance soil health and crop productivity.

AGROSYS aims to serve as a global scientific platform connecting researchers, practitioners, and policymakers committed to advancing sustainable crop science through rigorous agronomic inquiry, ecological approaches, and system-oriented innovation.
