Articles on soil science, meteorology, biometry, and plant protection will also be considered as long as they are significantly related to crop production. Journal of Crop Science and Biotechnology is the successor of the English version of the Korean Journal of Crop Science published by the Korean Society of Crop Science since 1998. ‘JCSB is issued five issues in one volume per year by the Korean Society of Crop Science in cooperation with the Korean Society of Breeding Science.
