The objective of Biological Agriculture & Horticulture is to combine knowledge in the areas of Agronomy, Organic farming, Botany, Agriculture and Horticulture. The study on Agronomy presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Soil water. The studies on Organic farming discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Soil organic matter, Crop rotation and Green manure.
Botany research is the primary subject tackled in Biological Agriculture & Horticulture with a focus on Parasitoid. The work on Agriculture addressed in it expands to the thematically related Agroforestry. Some problems in Manure that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Fertilizer, Nutrient and Compost.
The research on Crop discussed in the journal draws on the closely related field of Crop yield. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Weed as it also encompasses Weed control.
The published articles investigate studies in Agronomy, Organic farming, Agriculture, Compost and Crop. Nutrient and Nitrogen are some topics wherein Agronomy research discussed in the journal articles has an impact. While the journal publications focused on Organic farming, they were also able to explore topics like Fungicide, Yield (wine), Intensive farming and Sowing.
Biological Agriculture & Horticulture focuses on Agronomy, Agriculture, Nutrient, Organic farming and Horticulture. Topics in Agronomy were tackled in line with various other fields like Soil water and Sustainability. It explores research in Agriculture alongside concepts in Quality (business) and other areas of study in Environmental impact assessment, Sustainable agriculture, Biotechnology and Irrigation.
It focuses on Nutrient but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Agroforestry, Compost, Soil conditioner, Poultry manure and Cow dung. The work on Organic farming tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Breed, Soil quality and Intensive farming. Horticulture research presented in the journal encompasses a variety of subjects, including Wastewater, Paspalum notatum, Modified atmosphere and Antimicrobial.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Biological Agriculture & Horticulture (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Biological Agriculture & Horticulture (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 15.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 17.65% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 17.65% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 11.76% of all publications and 52.94% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)Pursuing a career in Plant Science and Agronomy often overlaps with fields focused on nutrition and dietetics, as understanding plant nutrients directly impacts food quality and agricultural sustainability. Many students explore an nutrition masters degree to deepen their expertise and open doors to higher-level research and leadership roles.
For those starting their educational journey, an online nutritionist degree offers flexibility while providing a solid foundation in nutritional science, essential for understanding plant-based food impact on human health.
Cost considerations are important, so exploring the online degree in nutrition can help balance quality education with affordability. Many programs deliver comprehensive curriculums without hefty tuition fees.
For professionals aiming to accelerate their career, enrolling in one of the accelerated nutrition degree programs can be a smart choice. These courses allow for quicker completion times, helping graduates enter the workforce faster while gaining critical knowledge related to agronomy and plant sciences.
