HortTechnology

Aims & Scope

HortTechnology is a peer-reviewed open-access science journal published by ASHS.

The primary mission is to publish accurate, clear, reproducible, and unbiased articles in the field of practical horticultural science.

HortTechnology seeks to advance selected peer-reviewed papers derived from topics in practical horticultural investigations with the primary goal of improving capabilities of horticultural practitioners and students, or recommending best practices for horticultural operations, or advancing knowledge concerning the intrinsic social benefits associated with the intersection of humanity and horticulture.

The research investigations published in HortTechnology are limited to advances in knowledge derived from or associated with high-value specialty crops and their components or products.

HortTechnology seeks to publish the results of comparative and evaluation research, typically conducted in real-world applications, and/or in classroom, field, or greenhouse environments on a large enough scale to support recommendations to practitioners.

Generally, the results are ready for direct utilization by educators, growers, practitioners, and technical advisors..
