Soil Sciences

Call for papers/Topics

Full Articles/ Reviews/ Shorts Papers/ Abstracts are welcomed in the following research fields:

1. Soil Science (Pedology and Edaphology)

Soil science focuses on the formation, classification, and physical/chemical properties of the "living skin" of the Earth.

Soil Genesis and Morphology:
- Weathering processes (Physical, Chemical, Biological).
- Soil forming factors (Parent material, Climate, Organisms, Topography, Time).
- Soil profiling and horizonation (O, A, E, B, C, R layers).

Soil Physics:
- Soil texture and structure.
- Water retention and hydraulic conductivity.
- Soil aeration and temperature regimes.

Soil Chemistry:
- Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and pH regulation.
- Nutrient cycling (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium).
- Soil salinity and sodicity.

Soil Biology:
- The Soil Food Web (Bacteria, Fungi, Protozoa).
- Mycorrhizal associations.
- Decomposition and organic matter transformation.

2. Agronomy and Crop Science

This area deals with the theory and practice of field-crop production and soil management.

Crop Physiology:
- Photosynthesis and transpiration.
- Plant growth regulators and hormones.
- Stress physiology (Drought, Heat, Salinity).

Plant Breeding and Genetics:
- Hybridization and selection.
- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and CRISPR technology.
- Seed science and technology.

Cropping Systems:
- Monoculture vs. Polyculture.
- Crop rotation and intercropping.
- Cover cropping and green manure.

3. Agricultural Engineering and Technology

The application of engineering principles to boost efficiency and sustainability.

Water Management:
- Irrigation systems (Drip, Sprinkler, Surface).
- Drainage engineering.
- Water-use efficiency (WUE).

Farm Power and Machinery:
- Tractors and implements.
- Harvesting technology.
- Precision Agriculture (GPS, GIS, and Remote Sensing).

Protected Cultivation:
- Greenhouse management.
- Hydroponics, Aeroponics, and Aquaponics.

4. Plant Protection (Pathology and Entomology)

Ensuring crop health by managing "biotic" stresses.

Plant Pathology:
- Fungal, bacterial, and viral diseases.
- Epidemiology and disease forecasting.

Agricultural Entomology:
- Insect morphology and classification.
- Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
- Biological control agents.

Weed Science:
- Weed biology and competition.
- Herbicide classification and resistance.

5. Sustainable Agriculture and Ecology

Focusing on the long-term viability of the environment and food systems.

Agroecology:
- Nutrient cycling in agroecosystems.
- Biodiversity in farming.

Conservation Agriculture:
- No-till/Minimum tillage.
- Soil conservation and erosion control.

Organic Farming:
- Certification standards.
- Natural pest control and composting.

Climate-Smart Agriculture:
- Carbon sequestration in soils.
- Adaptation strategies for climate change.

6. Agricultural Economics and Extension

The human and financial side of the industry.

Agribusiness Management:
- Supply chain and logistics.
- Farm accounting and finance.
- Agricultural marketing and trade.

Agricultural Extension:
- Technology transfer to farmers.
- Rural sociology and community development.
