Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Horticultural production is facing global changes in political, socio-economic and climatic scenarios that require a continuous review of soil management and fertilisation techniques. Understanding the impact of emerging techniques for the recovery of biodiversity and soil ecosystem services, the development and application of biofertilisers specifically designed for this purpose, the reuse of crop residues in circular economy environments, the implementation of new tools and technologies, applied to increase efficiency in the uptake and use of nutrients, such as nanobubbles, the use of new generation sensors to monitor the nutritional and water status of the crop and the development of mathematical models for real-time processing of data have led to the publication of this Special Issue, which aims to compile the latest studies in the field of nutrition, fertilisation, and soil management in horticultural crops.
