Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The abundant supply of nutrients from fertilizers helps to ensure crop productivity. Agrochemists have dedicated themselves to developing and utilizing highly efficient agricultural chemicals to maximize crop yield with minimal nutrient input. The purpose of this Special Issue is to compile the latest advancements in highly efficient fertilizers, as well as substances/materials such as biochar, biostimulants, and plant nutrition regulators, that can enhance nutrient absorption and utilization when applied alone or in combination with common fertilizers. This Special Issue covers the characterization and identification of novel fertilizers/materials, their impacts on fertilizer nutrients, their behaviors in soil transportation, their transformation patterns within plants, their field performance including crop yield, and the underlying mechanisms of plant nutrition principles. Scientists from around the world are invited to submit their original research articles and review papers on advancements in the applications and mechanisms of innovative fertilizers and synergists to this Special Issue.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agronomy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
