STRATI Journal of Crop Science and Agronomy

The journal aims to:

• Promote cutting-edge research in crop science and agronomy to support global food security and sustainable agriculture.
• Facilitate knowledge exchange on crop genetics, breeding, physiology, and soil-plant interactions.
• Encourage studies on sustainable crop production systems, resource-efficient farming, and environmental stewardship.
• Support research addressing biotic and abiotic stresses affecting crops and strategies for their management.
• Provide a forum for discussing advances in agronomic techniques, crop management, and post-harvest handling.

The scope includes but is not limited to:

• Crop genetics, breeding, and biotechnology.
• Crop physiology, growth, and development.
• Soil science as it relates to crop production.
• Pest, disease, and weed management in cropping systems.
• Agronomic practices including crop rotation, intercropping, and conservation agriculture.
• Precision agriculture and use of technology in crop management.
• Post-harvest technology and crop quality improvement.
• Climate change impacts on crops and adaptation strategies.
