Agricultural Crops Subjected to Drought and Salinity Stress

Dear Colleagues,

Agriculture has historically been vital to the prosperity of civilizations and has withstood environmental pressure and population growth thanks to genetic improvement and plant management. Most agricultural crops are subject to environmental stresses such as drought and salinity, and in many cases, these stresses act together, limiting crop productivity. From this perspective, innovative management strategies can improve the productivity of agricultural crops subjected to such unfavorable environmental conditions.

This Special Issue focused on developing and evaluating management strategies for crops subjected to drought and salt stress, featuring interdisciplinary studies from research fields related to agriculture, including horticulture, genetics, plant ecophysiology, irrigation, soils, and plant nutrition. The featured research articles discussed various agricultural crops and solutions for growing them under drought and salt stress conditions.
