Dear Colleagues,

Production and Nutritional Requirements of Fruit, Ornamental, Floriculture, and Foliage Plants section serves as a comprehensive, convenient source of new and important findings exploring the influence of currently known essential and nonessential elements on plant physiology and growth. This section emphasizes high-value, intensive crop production in both horticulture and agronomic systems. Beneficial elements, symbiotic relationships between bacteria and fungi crop yield, and the role of plant nutrients in disease control are some of the topics covered in addition to essential plant nutrients. This section provides insightful coverage of nutritional topics, such as:

· Understanding the necessary nutrients for crops grown in hydroponic systems and greenhouses, as well as the various factors that affect plant nutrition;

· Nutrition involving container production;

· Interpreting and correlating soil and plant analysis;

· Production and nutritional needs of various types of plants such as fruit-bearing, ornamental, floriculture, tropical and foliage plants;

· Plant growth promoting bacteria and elemental nutrition interactions as related to crop yield.

So, research articles and reviews in this area of study are welcome. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
