STRATI Journal of Horticulture and Floriculture

The journal aims to:

• Promote high-quality research and development in horticulture and floriculture sciences.
• Facilitate the dissemination of novel cultivation techniques, breeding methods, and post-harvest technologies.
• Encourage sustainable and environmentally friendly practices in horticultural and floricultural production.
• Support interdisciplinary research connecting plant science, biotechnology, agronomy, and market economics.
• Provide a forum for discussing challenges and opportunities in global horticulture and floriculture industries.

The scope includes but is not limited to:

• Fruit and vegetable crop production and improvement.
• Ornamental plants, landscaping, and garden design.
• Flower cultivation, breeding, and post-harvest management.
• Protected cultivation, greenhouse technology, and hydroponics.
• Pest and disease management in horticultural crops.
• Biotechnology applications in horticulture and floriculture.
• Supply chain, marketing, and economics of horticultural products.
