Aims and Scope
The Journal of Plantation and Agrotechnology (JPA) aims to provide a global platform for the dissemination of high-quality research in plantation science, agricultural practices, and technological advancements. The journal seeks to foster innovation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to address pressing challenges in agriculture and plantation systems.
Aims
To promote cutting-edge research that advances knowledge in plantation management, sustainable agriculture, and agricultural technology.
To serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas and solutions that enhance productivity, environmental sustainability, and technological integration in agriculture.
To encourage interdisciplinary collaboration by publishing research that bridges the gap between plantation science, agricultural practices, and emerging technologies.
To contribute to global efforts in achieving food security, resource conservation, and sustainable agricultural development.
Scope
JPA welcomes original research articles, reviews, case studies, and technical reports in the following areas (but not limited to):
Plantation Science: Research on plantation crops such as oil palm, rubber, cocoa, coffee, tea, and other industrial crops. Topics include crop management, breeding strategies, pest control, and yield optimization.
Sustainable Agriculture: Studies on ecological farming practices, organic agriculture, conservation agriculture, agroforestry systems, and climate-smart agriculture.
Agricultural Technology: Innovations in precision agriculture, remote sensing applications, automation in farming systems, data analytics for crop management, and the use of artificial intelligence in agriculture.
Soil and Water Management: Research on soil health improvement strategies, efficient irrigation systems, water conservation techniques, and nutrient management.
Crop Protection: Integrated pest management (IPM), biopesticides development, disease control strategies for crops, and weed management.
Agroecology: Studies on biodiversity conservation within agricultural landscapes and the interaction between ecological processes and farming systems.
Post-Harvest Technology: Advances in storage methods, processing technologies for plantation crops, value addition techniques, and supply chain management.
Environmental Impact Studies: Research on the environmental effects of agricultural practices including carbon sequestration in plantations and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.
Policy and Socioeconomic Studies: Analyses of agricultural policies, rural development initiatives, market dynamics of plantation products, and socioeconomic impacts of technological adoption.
JPA encourages submissions from researchers worldwide to ensure a diverse range of perspectives. The journal is committed to advancing global knowledge in plantation science and agricultural technology while supporting sustainable development goals.
