About this Research Topic
The growing global population and the increasing vulnerability of agriculture have made many challenges of modern agricultural production. One of the main challenges is to produce and provide sufficient quantities of healthy and nutritionally valuable food on the basis of not excessive fertilizer resources consumption. To meet the challenge, new knowledge/solutions and innovative agricultural practices must be acquired in research and appropriately implemented into agricultural green development.
Many new sustainable practices were adopted in order to increase crop productivity, nutritional and safety quality as well as reduce the impact on the environment (high nutrients efficiency). These practices basically include the introduction and integration of strategies from different disciplines from plant science, crop science, microbiology to soil science, such as crop physiology, physio-biochemistry, plant nutrition and fertilizer science, soil management, rhizosphere ecology, crop root-soil interactions and management, environmental microbial technology, recombinant microorganisms techniques, PGPR, etc. Innovative management strategies have been used to clarify the matching mechanisms underlying crop-soil-fertilizer systems in order to achieve the triple-H, namely high-yield, high-quality, and high nutrient efficiency.
In this Research Topic, we welcome all article types with a holistic approach published by Frontiers in Plant Science that dissect the use of innovative nutrients management strategies in sustainable agriculture especially those that focus on:
1. Studies of nutrient practices integrated with Triple-H innovation that regulate crop nutrition quality such as protein, amino acids, macroelement or microelement nutrients, vitamins etc.
2. Studies of nutrient practices integrated with Triple-H innovation that regulate crop safety quality such as heavy metals, nitrates, and nitrites in crop products.
3. Analyzing characteristics of crop traits and their physio-ecology regulatory process to determine crop productivity efficiency and nutrients use efficiency.
4. Effect of integrated nutrient management under abiotic stress on crop yield, quality, and nutrient efficiency. Articles on this will only be considered in scope with the research topic if it is supported by a potential mechanism of action that is at least partially proven.
5. Regional and national scales triple-H innovation integrates nutrients management strategies are equally welcome.
Please note: Descriptive studies that report responses of crop yield, quality and nutrients efficiency to innovation integrated agronomic management strategies will not be considered if they do not progress plant nutritional understanding of these responses.
