STRATI Journal of Soil Science and Fertility Management

The journal aims to:

• Promote high-quality research on soil science and fertility management practices.
• Facilitate dissemination of advances in soil biology, chemistry, physics, and microbiology.
• Encourage studies on sustainable soil management, nutrient cycling, and soil conservation.
• Support research addressing soil degradation, pollution, and restoration.
• Provide a forum for interdisciplinary research linking soil science with crop production, environmental health, and climate change.

The scope includes but is not limited to:

• Soil physical, chemical, and biological properties.
• Soil fertility and nutrient management.
• Organic and inorganic fertilizers and amendments.
• Soil-plant-water relationships and irrigation impacts.
• Soil conservation and erosion control techniques.
• Soil pollution, contamination, and remediation.
• Soil microbiology and nutrient cycling.
• Soil carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation.
