The discussions in Horticulturae mainly cover the fields of Horticulture, Cultivar, Agronomy, Nutrient and Shoot. It focuses on Horticulture as well as the interrelated topic of Crop. While work presented in Horticulturae provided substantial information on Cultivar, it also covered topics in Yield (wine) and Titratable acid.
Agronomy research is the primary subject tackled in the journal with a focus on Irrigation. Water-use efficiency is a focus of the presented Irrigation works and it dives deep in Water-use efficiency. The journal focused on Nutrient research but expanded to cover Fertilizer.
The journal served as a forum through which researchers explored different topics like Postharvest and Cold storage.
The main points discussed in the most cited articles deal with Agronomy, Horticulture, Irrigation, Crop yield and Water-use efficiency. While work presented in the most cited papers provide substantial information on Agronomy, it also covers topics in Salinity, Ornamental plant and Abiotic component. The most cited papers tackle research in various disciplines, including Horticulture and Atmosphere.
The objective of Horticulturae is to combine knowledge in the areas of Horticulture, Cultivar, Shoot, Food science and Nutrient. It addresses concerns in Horticulture which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Photosynthesis and Crop. Some problems in Cultivar that were presented in the journal overlapped with concepts under Yield (wine) and Titratable acid.
Horticulturae connects research in Food science with the related topic of Antioxidant. Topics in Nutrient explored in the journal were investigated in conjunction with research in Hydroponics and Fertilizer. The study on Seedling presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Germination.
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 Horticulturae (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 Horticulturae (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, 98.34% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 42.86% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 28.57% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 28.57% of all publications and 0.00% 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)For those interested in Plant Science and Agronomy, exploring related online degrees can open diverse career pathways. Understanding the structure and duration of programs is essential for planning your education effectively. Just as professionals in nursing explore options like how long is np school to fast-track their careers, students in agronomy should consider program length and flexibility.
Many accelerated nursing programs, such as rn to bsn in 3 months, highlight the growing trend towards condensed, focused learning. Similarly, agronomy students can benefit from targeted degrees and certificates that align with their career goals without requiring extended time commitments.
Bridge programs like rn to np programs emphasize career mobility through existing credentials—a concept that translates well in agricultural sciences. Professionals with foundational knowledge can often leverage bridge pathways to advance into specialized roles or research areas.
For career changers or newcomers, examples such as online direct entry msn programs for non nurses show how accessible high-level education can be, even without previous experience. In agronomy, similarly structured online programs can provide comprehensive education to start a thriving career in sustainable agriculture, crop science, or environmental management.
