Controlled Environment Research Guidelines

Crop Science  (CS) is an international journal publishing significant advances in crop science. Papers chosen for publication must demonstrate relevance to a crop system and present new knowledge of value and interest to scientists studying other crops, or studying the same crop in different production conditions. Studies that confirm previous advances or contain information primarily of local interest will not be accepted. Manuscripts may focus on any aspect of crop science, including but not limited to agronomy, physiology, and genetics, and will be classified according to the Crop Science Society of America division with which they align most closely. Crop Science also publishes thematic collections of articles across its scope and includes topical Review, and Perspectives articles.

Articles reporting experimentation or research in field crops or reviews of such research will be accepted for review as papers. For research involving controlled environments, see our Controlled Environment Research guidelines . Letters to the editor are welcomed and are published subject to review and approval of the editor. When letters concern previous articles, the authors will be invited to reply; letter and reply are published together. Forage breeding manuscripts should be submitted to Division C-1 rather than C-6.

Manuscript Types

• Original Article. Papers that present novel findings that advance current knowledge on a specific research topic (one to multiple pages).
• Review. Longer, more comprehensive papers presenting interpretation of data that has largely been previously published.
• Lecture. By invite only, papers associated with one of Crop Science Society of America Lectureships.
• Issues. Topical papers on issues related to crop science.
• Scientific Perspective. Shorter papers presenting a broader, more personal perspective on a single specific topic, usually providing interpretation of data that has largely been previously published.
• Plant Breeding Review. State-of-the-art reviews on plant genetics and the breeding of all types of crops by both traditional means and molecular methods. 
• Horticultural Review. State-of-the-art reviews on topics in horticultural science and technology covering both basic and applied research.
• Invited Review. By invitation only, longer, more comprehensive papers presenting interpretation of data that has largely been previously published.
• Letter to the Editor. Papers to provide a forum to discuss specific topics. 300 words or less. Published subject to review and approval by the Editor.
• Book Review. Short description of a book related to the crop science field.

Crop Science also publishes special sections, which are designed to bring to the forefront and promote new areas of research of broad interest to the Crop Science readership; highlight and provide a platform for scientific exchange resulting from symposia, collaborative projects, and topical conferences through rigorous and professional peer review process; and provide a periodic overview of the state of the art in various research areas by soliciting contributions from active leaders in the field of crop science. A typical special section size varies from 6 to 25 manuscripts. A proposal for a special section solicits and calls for papers along a theme (approved by the Crop Science Editor) to be submitted, reviewed, and published within the time frame of approximately one year. Submit your proposal using our online form .

Download the  CS Manuscript Submission Template  and  Pre-Submission Manuscript Formatting Checklist .

Submit manuscripts at the CS Manuscript Submission Site . Submissions to CS may not be previously published in their entirety or simultaneously submitted to any other scientific or technical journal. American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) journals follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA style) for references. Consult our Publications Handbook and Style Manual for specific questions about style.

Creating the Manuscript File

Microsoft Word or LaTeX files may be submitted for review. For your convenience, we encourage you to use our Word template . The manuscript should be double-spaced, using page and continuous line numbers. See our LaTex File Submission Guidelines  for instructions on submitting LaTeX files.

Peer Review and Revisions

All manuscripts submitted undergo single blind peer review. Papers are assigned to a technical editor, who will assign an associate editor to solicit at least two reviews. After evaluating the completed reviews, the associate editor will recommend a decision to the technical editor. Authors will be prompted to provide a list of potential reviewers. These reviewers must not have a conflict of interest involving the authors or paper, and the editorial board has the right to not use any reviewers suggested by authors. See the  ASA, CSSA, SSSA Editorial Policies  information page for additional information on review policy. All revisions to the manuscript during the review process will be made by the author only, and revisions will be given the same manuscript number, with an R number on the end (e.g., CROP-2006-04-0017-ORA.R1). Each revision has the opportunity for another round of review—the manuscript status “awaiting reviewer selection” is automatic and does not indicate a resubmission. Authors have four weeks to review and return their manuscript following reviewer and associate editor comments. Manuscripts may be released if revisions are not received, and the paper will have to be submitted as a new manuscript. Within days of submission, we'll decide whether or not to send your paper through review. For papers that are reviewed, the average time from submission to final decision (including revisions) is about 80 days. Accepted papers go through an average of two revisions. During the writing and revision process, authors are encouraged to use efficient and concise writing, reducing redundant or wordy text. This will both improve the readability of the manuscript and avoid excessive per page charges, which are applied to papers after acceptance (see Publication Fees section below).

Corresponding authors are required to use an ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript. More information on ORCID can be found on their website . We encourage all authors to list their ORCID iD in the manuscript.

Plagiarism Screening

Papers submitted to ASA, CSSA, SSSA journals are screened for plagiarism before being sent for review. If there appears to be major repetition from other sources, the editor will evaluate the duplication and take appropriate action as warranted.

These statements should identify the most relevant outcomes of the paper and encapsulate the significance of the research. Each statement must be a complete sentence 115 characters or less (spaces included). Core ideas are published with the paper.

Abstract. Abstracts are a single self-contained paragraph of no more than 1500 characters – including word spaces ‑ for papers or 750 characters for Notes. Abstracts should contain the rationale, objectives, methods, results, and their meaning or scope of application. Be specific. Identify the crops or organisms involved, the soil type, chemicals, and other details that are pertinent to the results. Do not cite references.

Plain Language Summary. You may include a plain language summary (limit 1000 characters). The summary should be clear, concise, and free from jargon. See guidelines for writing plain language summaries  here .

Abbreviations. Prepare a list in alphabetical order of abbreviations used in your article. Do not include SI units, chemical abbreviations, or abbreviations listed in the style manual as not needing definition.

Text. The usual order of sections is an Introduction (which includes the literature review), Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusions (optional). Results and Discussion may be combined, and conclusions can be given at the close of the Discussion section.

Data Availability Statement. Authors are encouraged to include a data availability statement directing readers to research data. Include this statement directly after the main text.

Conflict of Interest Statement. Authors should include a statement just before the References section that explains any conflicts of interest. If there are none, authors should explicitly state there are no conflicts of interest.

Author Contributions. The contributions of each author to this work must now be indicated as part of the submission process. You may provide Author Contributions at original submission, but you MUST provide the information at revised submission. The submitting author is required to assign specific author contribution roles for each coauthor, using the  CRediT  taxonomy to indicate their respective roles. The 14 roles are Conceptualization , Data curation , Formal analysis , Funding acquisition , Investigation , Methodology , Project administration , Resources , Software , Supervision , Validation , Visualization , Writing – original draft , and Writing – review & editing . Author Contributions will be published with the accepted article and cannot be edited after article acceptance. Therefore, you must ensure the Author Contribution information you provide is accurate prior to final acceptance.

A final acknowledgments paragraph may be included.

Supplemental Material. Supplemental material may be included in the online version of articles at the discretion of the editors. The material must be submitted along with the original manuscript and will undergo peer review. Authors are encouraged to submit materials that contribute to the content and quality of the article or to use supplemental material as a means to shorten the text of manuscripts. Ancillary information such as some experimental data, including schematics of apparatus and maps of study sites, or material of interest mainly to specialists, are examples of potential supplemental material. When using supplemental material to shorten the text of a manuscript, keep in mind that the Materials and Methods section should provide enough detail to allow the reader to determine whether the interpretations are supported by the data. Include a short (one- or two-sentence) paragraph, titled “Supplemental Material,” describing the supplemental material in the main manuscript directly after the main text.

Supplemental tables and figures should be cited in order in the main manuscript, as Supplemental Table S1, etc. Supplemental material should be formatted with a cover sheet listing authors and manuscript title, and the number of pages, figures, and tables. Tables and figures should be numbered Supplemental Table or Supplemental Figure S1, S2, etc. The journal program manager may limit the quantity of supplemental material posted. Ideally, the supplement should consist of a single PDF or MS Word file (rather than a series of files with individual images or structures). Other file types, such as Quick Time or Excel, may be allowed. Contact the program manager with questions about file types. If submitting videos please use the format .FLV (Flash Video) with 640 x 480 or 720 x 480 (widescreen) as the resolution. If you do not have this format available to you please contact the program manager. The following are not allowed: executables (.exe) of any kind, java script, TeX, or PowerPoint.

In place of supplemental material, our journals encourage the use of data repositories that assign DOIs or other persistent unique identifier (PID) to the data.

References. ASA, CSSA, SSSA journals follow the APA style for citations and references. The author-year system for citations is required; do not use numbered references. Refer to  chapter 1  of the Publications Handbook and Style Manual for examples of our reference and citation style, in addition to following these guidelines:

• Arrange the list alphabetically by the surnames of the first authors and then by the second and third authors.
• Single-authored articles should precede multiple-authored articles for which the individual is first author.
• Two or more articles by the same author are listed chronologically; two or more in the same year are indicated by a, b, c, etc.
• Only literature that is available through libraries or other readily accessible public media can be cited. Material that does not meet this standard should be cited as personal communication or unpublished data.

Tables. Each entry should appear in a new table cell. Do not use tabs, spaces, or graphics. Cite each table in the text in numerical order; do not use table parts (1a, 1b).  Each table must be cited in the text. Table heads should be brief but complete and self-contained. Define all variables and spell out all abbreviations. Table notes can include “Notes” for general notes that apply to the entire table, superscript lowercase letters for specific notes, and asterisks and other symbols as needed for significance notes.

Note on means comparisons: When letters are used to display the significance of pairwise mean comparisons in tables or figures, the meaning of letters should be concisely described in captions. Two examples of suitable verbiage: "Means not sharing a letter are significantly different at the 5% level of significance according to a t-test," or "Means with a letter in common are not significantly different at the 5% level according to Tukey's HSD test." Also see Piepho, H.P. (2018) Letters in mean comparisons: What they do and don't mean . Agronomy Journal , 110, 431-434.

Figures. At submission, review-quality figures with captions should be placed into the main text document at first mention. Authors may also submit figures as separate files. If the manuscript is accepted for publication, color figures must adhere to our color-figure policy . Figures must also be submitted separately as high-resolution image files (300 dpi preferred) in the following acceptable formats: PDF, EPS, TIFF, or JPEG. PPT files are acceptable if the figure was created in PowerPoint. Width of figures should approximate desired print size, i.e., 80 mm for a one-column figure, 180 mm for a two-column figure. All figure parts should be labeled. Multi-panel figures should be submitted as one image. In biplots, PCA plots, multidimensional scaling plots or any other plots based on a singular value decomposition or spectral decomposition (eigenvalue analysis) of a multivariate data matrix, it is important to make sure that both axes are equally scaled exactly, i.e. the aspect ratio is 1:1. This means that the distance in metric units (e.g. millimeters) between two tick marks on the horizontal axis is exactly the same as the distance between the equivalent pair of tick marks on the vertical axis. Also see Malik, W., Piepho, H.P. (2019): Biplots: Do not stretch them! Crop Science , 58, 1061-1069.

Spell out abbreviations on first mention in figure captions, even if they have already been defined in the main text. Define symbols used either in the caption or in a legend within the figure. For more information on figures, see Chapter 5 of the style manual.

Math. Use keyboard formatting where possible (i.e., bold, super-/subscripts, simple variables, Greek font, etc.); if needed, use MathType (preferred) or Word Equation Editor (only if MathType is not available).    

Units of Measure. The International System of Units (SI) must be used. Other units may be indicated in parentheses after the SI unit if this helps understanding or is needed for replication of the work.

Citing Genetic Material

Authors of CSSA publications must cite plant introductions, as well as registered cultivars, germplasm, parental lines, and genetic stocks when they are mentioned in the text of the Introduction, Discussion, or Characteristics section of research papers. Such genetic materials must also be cited when they are used to develop unreleased genetic populations that are the focus of the research paper, unless the development of the population can be cited more directly. Authors are encouraged to cite the Journal of Plant Registrations if possible. Other sources for citation information include the Genetic Resource Information Network (GRIN) maintained by the USDA. Registrations published in CS and the Journal of Plant Registrations (JPR) are indexed on the GRIN website . A general search in GRIN is available here .

Nomenclature

Both the accepted common name and the chemical name of pesticides must be given upon first mention in the manuscript. Use chemical symbols for elements, ions, and simple compounds except at the beginning of a sentence or in a title or heading. The Latin binomial or trinomial (and authority for plants) must be included with the common name for all plants, insects, pathogens, and animals at first mention. When referring to soils, give at least the subgroup in accord with the US system of soil taxonomy. Ideally, both the series and complete family name should be given.

To ensure uniformity and to have clear definitions of terms used for grazing lands and grazing animals literature, manuscripts submitted to the C-06 section of CS are required to adhere to the terminology developed by the Forage and Grazing Terminology Task Force . Submissions that use terms and definitions that deviate from the recommended terminology will be returned to authors for corrections before they are sent for review. 

Changes to Author Byline

From time to time, authors' names are either added or removed from a given manuscript between the time of submission and publication. In situations such as this, the ethical and responsible manner of handling this type of change is for the lead author to advise the author being added or removed of the change and to notify, in writing, the journal editor and program manager for approval. In addition, all coauthors should notify the program manager that they are aware of and approve of the change.

Consent and Permissions

Before submitting the paper, the corresponding author should send each living coauthor a draft copy of the manuscript and obtain the coauthors’ assent to coauthorship. Authors are responsible for obtaining all permissions for use of figures or other material from other publishers and should supply these permissions when the manuscript is accepted. Authors are also responsible for obtaining permission from individuals whose images are included in photographs. Note that ASA, CSSA, and SSSA reserve the right to publish and republish any images you submit with a manuscript.

Errata may be used by the authors of a paper to correct errors and omissions that affect the integrity of the version of record that are identified after publication. All additions and corrections are subject to editorial approval and must be approved by all coauthors before submission; corrections of minor errors or omissions will not be published. Send all errata requests to the journal's program manager.

Plain Language Summaries

Plain language summaries (PLS) are aimed at scientists in other fields, researchers across disciplines, undergraduate and graduate students, and readers not fluent in English. PLS should be written in language that can be understood by an undergraduate student. We suggest writing at a ninth-grade level so that the PLS is easy to read for readers across a variety of disciplines. Make the summary clear, concise, interesting, and free from jargon. Emphasize your results—what you found and why it is important—rather than your methods. The goal is to draw the reader into the journal and to your research. Avoid the use of abbreviations.

The summary should contain a five- to six-sentence summary starting with one or two sentences explaining the problem or issue, followed by a description of what you discovered, your key findings or conclusion, and what the results mean. Plain language summaries in our journals have a limit of 1000 characters (about 150 words).

We recommend that you structure your plain language summary with four key elements: subject overview, research purpose, key findings, and key takeaways.

Subject Overview (1-3 sentences)—What does a nonspecialist reader need to know about the subject to understand your paper? Explain the broad scientific topic to provide context for your study.

Research Purpose (1-3 sentences)—What did you set out to investigate? Give a brief overview of what you set out to do in the research and how you went about it.

Glyphosate-resistant weeds in North Dakota and Minnesota sugarbeet growing regions have necessitated research on S-metolachlor. S-metolachlor can be applied early-postemergence in sugarbeet but has not been labeled preemergence as reductions in sugarbeet safety have been observed. Field and growth chamber experiments were conducted to determine crop safety from S-metolachlor applied preemergence. S-metolachlor readily bonds to soil clay and organic matter. High clay and organic matter soils buffer S-metolachlor from soil solution and increase crop safety. Sugarbeet emergence was affected by soil series, temperature, and soil water, but was not affected by S-metolachlor or S-metolachlor rate. S-metolachlor affected sugarbeet growth, but a rate of 0.54 kg ai ha -1 was safe across soils and growing conditions. No differences in varietal tolerance were observed. S-metolachlor applied immediately after planting or at the cotyledon and two-leaf stage injured sugarbeet less than application 3, 5, or 7 d after planting.

For cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) to grow and develop normally, plants need to uptake the necessary amount of nutrients and use those nutrients in a beneficial fashion. It is recognized that cotton needs a certain tissue concentration of ions to achieve and maintain growth rates (Siddiqi et al., 1987). One of the most essential and abundant nutrients in cotton is potassium (K), second only by mass to nitrogen (N) (Marschner, 1995; Oosterhuis et al., 2013). Potassium exists in the soil in four separate pools and moves through soil to roots mainly through diffusion (Rengel & Damon, 2008; Samal et al., 2010; Ogaard et al., 2001). Potassium plays a vital role in plant growth and metabolism.

The objectives of this study were to determine the Michaelis-Menten parameters for the high-affinity transport system (HATS) and low-affinity transport system (LATS) uptake mechanisms of cotton, observe how K is partitioned throughout the cotton plant over a growing season with differing K fertilization rates, and to determine if cultivars differed in values from currently available indices formulated for N-status detection from active sensors. It also set out to determine if these N-sensitive indices were sensitive to leaf K concentration and available K2O in the soil, and to evaluate the role these indices play in predicting yield. It was hypothesized that a high K hydroponic environment would lead to more K uptake by cotton roots, which would lead to an increase in VMAX and KM. It was also hypothesized that with increased K fertilization, there would be greater K uptake and larger shift to reproductive components due to the plant having more than enough K in all other parts enabling it to send more to the reproductive components, and that greater K rates would lead to higher yields across all cultivars. It was believed that normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) would more accurately predict leaf K, available K2O, and yield than normalized difference red edge (NDRE), that NDVI and NDRE would more accurately determine the K parameters chosen than canopy chlorophyll content index (CCCI), due to the strong influence of the red-edge band in the index and that yield would be most accurately predicted by the CCCI, due to yield being influenced by both chlorophyll content and biomass, and the CCCI involving the red-edge band to reflect chlorophyll content and the near infrared band to detect biomass.
