Focus and Scope

Jurnal Online Pertanian Tropik (JOPT) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to publishing original research and scholarly contributions in tropical agricultural sciences. The journal focuses on crop production, soil and land resources, plantation systems, agricultural technology, and the socioeconomic and environmental dimensions of tropical agriculture. JOPT welcomes original research articles, review articles, and short communications that contribute to scientific knowledge, agricultural productivity, and sustainable agricultural development. The journal covers the following areas:

1. Crop and Soil Sciences

  • Agronomy and Horticulture: Crop production, crop physiology, plant nutrition, and sustainable cultivation of tropical crops.
  • Soil Science and Land Management: Soil fertility, soil physics, soil chemistry, soil biology, land evaluation, and soil conservation.
  • Plant Breeding and Protection: Crop improvement, plant biotechnology, plant pathology, agricultural entomology, and integrated pest management.
  • Plantation Crop Sciences: Cultivation, productivity, and sustainable management of tropical plantation crops.

2. Sustainable Agricultural and Environmental Systems

  • Agroecology and Sustainable Agriculture: Agroecosystem management, agricultural biodiversity, organic farming, and sustainable agricultural practices.
  • Agricultural Environmental Management: Agricultural waste management, soil and water conservation, environmental quality, and climate adaptation in agricultural systems.
  • Integrated Farming Systems: Crop–livestock integration, agricultural resource recycling, and sustainable mixed farming systems.

3. Agricultural Engineering and Biosystems

  • Agricultural Engineering: Agricultural mechanization, irrigation, agricultural automation, and technologies supporting crop production.
  • Biosystems and Postharvest Technology: Biosystems engineering, agricultural monitoring systems, postharvest handling, and agricultural product processing.

4. Agribusiness and Agricultural Socioeconomics

  • Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics: Farm management, production efficiency, agricultural marketing, agribusiness development, and economic feasibility of agricultural enterprises.
  • Agricultural Extension and Rural Development: Farmer participation, agricultural extension, technology adoption, and socioeconomic development of farming communities.
  • Agricultural Policy and Sustainability: Agricultural policies, rural institutions, and socioeconomic aspects of sustainable agricultural development.
