Field Crops Research (FCR)

Field Crops Research is an internationally recognised, monthly peer-reviewed journal established in 1978 and published by Elsevier BV. It aims to advance scientific knowledge and sustainable practices in field crop production worldwide. The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, comprehensive reviews and modelling studies that enhance understanding of key aspects of crop physiology, ecology, agronomy and crop improvement. Research themes include yield formation and its biophysical determinants, plant responses to abiotic stresses, nutrient and water dynamics, crop rotation and management strategies, remote sensing and phenotyping, soil interactions, climate impact assessments, and precision agronomy. Articles in Field Crops Research contribute significant insights into crop productivity and resilience, support the development of sustainable agricultural systems, and drive innovation in crop science. Innovative methodologies such as integrated field experiments, advanced modelling techniques, high-throughput phenotyping, and data-rich approaches are emphasised when they provide novel understanding of field crop processes at the plant, field and landscape scales. The journal’s rigorous peer-review process ensures high scientific quality and relevance for researchers, agronomists, plant breeders, policy makers and agricultural practitioners. Its interdisciplinary scope fosters collaborations across crop physiology, soil science, environmental science and digital agriculture to address challenges in global food security.
