Focus and Scope
About the Journal
The International Journal of AgroChemistry (IJA) is a peer-reviewed, hybrid open-access journal launched in 2015 that provides a specialized platform for high-quality research in soil chemistry, fertilizer chemistry, pesticide chemistry, herbicide chemistry, fungicide chemistry, plant nutrition chemistry, chemical formulation sciences, residue analysis, chemical degradation pathways, and chemical-biological interactions in agriculture, while encouraging contributions in organic and inorganic agrochemistry, physical chemistry applied to agriculture, chemical process engineering, analytical chemistry techniques for agrochemical research, and environmental chemical risk assessment in agricultural ecosystems.
Focus and Scope
-
Soil chemistry: cation exchange capacity (CEC) chemistry, soil pH chemistry, soil organic matter chemical analysis, chemical speciation of nutrients, redox chemistry of soil systems, soil salinity chemical dynamics, and soil amendment chemical mechanisms.
-
Fertilizer chemistry: synthesis, chemical characterization, controlled-release fertilizer chemistry, chemical stabilization of nutrients, micronutrient fertilizer chemistry, urea-based fertilizer reactions, ammonia volatilization chemistry, phosphate fixation chemistry, and potassium mobility chemistry.
-
Pesticide chemistry: structure-activity relationships (SAR), mode of action chemistry, chemical degradation of pesticides, chemical persistence in soil and water, pesticide volatilization chemistry, photochemical degradation of pesticides, and pesticide residue chemical analysis.
-
Herbicide chemistry: chemical action mechanisms, target-site inhibition chemistry, systemic vs. contact herbicide chemical properties, chemical drift dynamics, herbicide degradation pathways, and herbicide-soil chemical interactions.
-
Fungicide chemistry: mechanistic chemistry of fungicidal action, fungicide resistance chemical pathways, systemic fungicide formulation chemistry, and chemical synergy and antagonism among agrochemicals.
-
Plant nutrition chemistry: chemical uptake mechanisms of macronutrients and micronutrients, nutrient transport chemistry, chemical form transformations inside plants, fertilizer-induced chemical changes in root exudates, and deficiency and toxicity chemical indicators.
-
Agrochemical formulation chemistry: emulsion chemistry, wettable powder formulation chemistry, suspension concentrate stabilization chemistry, granule chemical coating technologies, nanoformulation of agrochemicals, and chemical compatibility in mixed formulations.
-
Chemical residue analysis: gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), spectrophotometric chemical analysis, NMR spectroscopy for agrochemical structure elucidation, and infrared spectroscopy for functional group chemistry.
-
Agrochemical degradation chemistry: hydrolysis reactions, photolysis chemistry, oxidative degradation, microbial degradation pathways, chemical kinetics of agrochemical decay, half-life chemical calculations, and transformation product identification.
-
Chemical-biological interactions: chemical impact on soil microbial metabolism, chemical inhibition of enzyme systems, chemical-induced oxidative stress in plants, and symbiotic chemical signaling pathways.
-
Toxicological chemistry of agrochemicals: acute toxicity, chronic exposure chemical effects, bioaccumulation chemistry, chemical pathways of carcinogenicity, chemical endocrine disruption mechanisms, and chemical detoxification strategies.
-
Environmental chemistry of agrochemicals: chemical leaching dynamics, runoff chemical transportation, volatilization loss chemistry, atmospheric chemical transformations of pesticides, and biogeochemical cycling of agrochemical residues.
-
Innovative agrochemical chemistry: green synthesis of agrochemicals, low-toxicity pesticide chemistry, precision-targeted fertilizer chemistry, biodegradable chemical coatings, and sustainable chemical agricultural technologies.
