Summary

This special issue focuses on innovative and emerging strategies in sustainable vegetable cultivation and protection, encompassing a multi-faceted approach to enhancing productivity while minimizing ecological impact.

 

Key areas of interest include precision horticulture, agroecological practices, integrated pest management, organic farming techniques, and the use of biotechnological advancements to improve crop resilience. Emphasis will also be placed on water management strategies, soil health enhancement, and crop diversification as integral components of sustainable cultivation systems.

 

This issue aims to bring together research on novel approaches and technologies that support sustainable vegetable production, addressing challenges such as pest and disease management, nutrient optimization, and resource conservation. Contributions will explore the intersection of traditional knowledge and modern science, highlighting case studies demonstrating these strategies' successful implementation across agroecological zones.

    Effects of Different Irrigation Regimes and Biochar Applications on Pollen and Anther Development in Capsicum annuum Plant

    Başak Müftüoğlu, Sevinç Başay
    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.94, No.10, pp. 3217-3229, 2025, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2025.071755

    Abstract Water scarcity is an escalating global challenge that severely threatens productivity and reproductive success in crops, particularly in drought-sensitive species such as Capsicum annuum L. Although deficit irrigation strategies are widely recommended to enhance water use efficiency, knowledge remains limited regarding their interactions with soil amendments such as biochar and the consequent impacts on reproductive traits. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of deficit irrigation strategies and biochar application on pollen viability and morphology in Capsicum annuum. The experiment was conducted under full, partial, and deficit irrigation regimes with and without biochar treatment, following a… More >
