Focus & Scope

About the Journal

International Journal of Agrochemistryaims to serve as a platform for the propagation of novel ideas and research in entire areas of Agricultural Chemistry. The target audience of the journal comprises both researchers and practitioners. All manuscripts go through a rigorous peer review process. It is designed to create interest among researchers in the field of Agricultural, chemical process engineering and the technologies applied in chemical composition of biochemical constituents, pesticides, fertilizers, agro-products etc. Journal targets to publish original, high quality papers that are peer-reviewed by our expert editorial team to ensure the publication of only good quality papers.

All contributions to the journal are rigorously refereed and are selected on the basis of quality and originality of the work. The journal publishes the most significant new research papers or any other original contribution in the form of reviews and reports on new concepts in all areas pertaining to its scope and research being done in the world, thus ensuring its scientific priority and significance.

Focus & Scope

  • Soil chemistry: cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH dynamics, organic matter characterisation, nutrient speciation, redox systems, salinity dynamics, and soil amendment mechanisms.
  • Fertilizer chemistry: synthesis and characterisation, controlled-release systems, nutrient stabilisation, micronutrient formulations, urea-based reactions, ammonia volatilization, phosphate fixation, and potassium mobility.
  • Pesticide chemistry: structure–activity relationships (SAR), modes of action, degradation and persistence in soil and water, volatilization, photochemical breakdown, and residue analysis.
  • Herbicide chemistry: action mechanisms, target-site inhibition, systemic versus contact properties, drift dynamics, degradation pathways, and herbicide–soil interactions.
  • Fungicide chemistry: mechanisms of fungicidal action, resistance pathways, systemic formulation, and synergy or antagonism among agrochemicals.
  • Plant nutrition chemistry: macronutrient and micronutrient uptake mechanisms, nutrient transport, in-planta transformations, fertilizer-induced changes in root exudates, and deficiency or toxicity indicators.
  • Formulation science: emulsions, wettable powders, suspension concentrate stabilisation, granule coating technologies, nanoformulations, and compatibility in mixed formulations.
  • Residue analysis: gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (HPLC), GC-MS, LC-MS, spectrophotometry, NMR for structure elucidation, and infrared spectroscopy.
  • Degradation and transformation: hydrolysis, photolysis, oxidative and microbial pathways, decay kinetics, half-life determination, and identification of transformation products.
  • Toxicology and biological interactions: acute and chronic exposure effects, bioaccumulation, carcinogenic and endocrine-disruption pathways, detoxification strategies, effects on soil microbial metabolism, enzyme inhibition, oxidative stress in plants, and symbiotic signalling.
  • Environmental fate: leaching dynamics, runoff transport, volatilization losses, atmospheric transformation, and biogeochemical cycling of residues.
  • Green agrochemistry: green synthesis routes, low-toxicity pesticide design, precision-targeted fertilizers, biodegradable coatings, and sustainable agricultural technologies.
  • Soil chemistry: cation exchange capacity (CEC), pH dynamics, organic matter characterisation, nutrient speciation, redox systems, salinity dynamics, and soil amendment mechanisms.
