 History

Given the importance of publishing applied research findings on field and horticulture crops, and in response to the emphasis placed by experts, researchers, practitioners, students, and faculty members of agricultural colleges on the need for greater attention to this segment of research results, the Seed and Plant Improvement Institute initiated the publication of the scientific journal "Research Achievements for Field and Horticulture Crops."

The journal aims to introduce, promote, and expand scientific knowledge among the agricultural community, specifically in the agronomy and horticulture sectors, and to enhance overall agricultural awareness and expertise. This biannual journal was launched with the approval of the Research Planning and Policy-Making Center of the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology of Iran, based on letter No. 93973/3 dated July 21, 2012.

The journal accepts and publishes manuscripts in the following areas after scientific and literary review:

  1. Applied research in agronomy and horticulture that can be directly utilized by practitioners, farmers, and gardeners in the country's production sector. The research should have a minimum duration of two years, with a portion conducted in the field.
  2. Review manuscripts that provide summaries directly applicable to practitioners, farmers, and gardeners in the production sector. These manuscripts should be authored by experts in the relevant field.
  3. Newly named and approved cultivars by official bodies, provided that no more than three years have passed since their approval.
  4. Practical protocols and guidelines related to various production technologies and the productivity of crop and horticultural crops.
