Overview

Fertilizers and pesticides are agricultural inputs used to enhance crop productivity and protect plants from pests, diseases, and competing weeds. Research published in Agronomy Research examines both the applications and consequences of these substances across diverse agricultural systems. Studies have investigated the environmental impacts of agricultural land use practices on water quality in wetland ecosystems, as well as water quality assessments in major river systems where agricultural runoff is a concern. The journal has published work on biological alternatives to synthetic inputs, including research on mycorrhizal fungi as modifiers of plant growth, biofertilizers applied to maize silage and meadows with implications for milk quality and farm economics, arbuscular mycorrhizal biofertilizers in potato cultivation, and cyanobacteria applications in agriculture. Additional research has addressed the toxicological effects of specific pesticides such as chlorpyrifos on aquatic organisms used as bioindicators. The topic is significant because fertilizer and pesticide use directly influences agricultural productivity, environmental quality, and ecosystem health, while emerging research on biological alternatives offers potential pathways toward more sustainable farming systems that balance yield objectives with reduced environmental impacts.
