Aim:
The American Journal of Agriculture and Horticulture Innovations (AJAHI) aims to advance knowledge and innovation in the fields of agriculture and horticulture by publishing high-quality, peer-reviewed research. Our goal is to foster the development and application of cutting-edge techniques, sustainable practices, and transformative solutions that address contemporary challenges in agriculture and horticulture. We strive to provide a platform for scholarly exchange and collaboration that supports advancements in food security, crop production, pest management, and environmental stewardship.
Scope:
AJAHI encompasses a broad range of topics within agriculture and horticulture, including but not limited to:
-
Crop Science: Research on the development, improvement, and management of crop varieties, including breeding techniques, genetic engineering, and crop physiology.
-
Soil Science: Studies on soil health, fertility, and management practices, including soil conservation, nutrient dynamics, and sustainable land use.
-
Pest and Disease Management: Innovations in pest and disease control, including integrated pest management (IPM), biological control, and disease resistance strategies.
-
Agricultural Engineering: Advances in agricultural machinery, irrigation systems, and technologies that enhance efficiency and productivity in farming operations.
-
Horticultural Practices: Research on the cultivation and management of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and ornamental plants, including innovative growing techniques and post-harvest handling.
-
Sustainable Agriculture: Exploration of practices that promote environmental sustainability, including organic farming, agroecology, and conservation agriculture.
-
Climate Change and Agriculture: Studies on the impact of climate change on agricultural systems and strategies for adaptation and mitigation, including climate-smart agriculture.
-
Food Security and Safety: Research on methods to enhance food security, improve food safety, and ensure the quality and nutritional value of agricultural products.
-
Agroforestry and Land Use: Investigations into the integration of trees and shrubs into agricultural landscapes, including benefits for biodiversity, soil health, and ecosystem services.
-
Economic and Policy Aspects: Analysis of economic trends, policy implications, and market dynamics affecting agriculture and horticulture, including rural development and agricultural economics.
