Welcome from the Chair
Dear colleagues, distinguished agronomists, and plant scientists,
We are thrilled to welcome you to the upcoming 5 International Electronic Conference on Agronomy (IECAG 2025), proudly sponsored by the MDPI open access journal Agronomy. In line with our commitment to fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange, this electronic conference provides a unique platform for researchers to showcase their work, discuss groundbreaking findings, and engage in meaningful conversations with fellow experts.
This virtual conference will be held on www.sciforum.net, a platform developed and sponsored by MDPI to organize and provide technical support for electronic conferences. The virtual format offers the distinct advantage of eliminating the need for travel and its associated expenses, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the conference without any logistical constraints.
Key Themes: The conference will span various key themes, including the following:
- Biostimulation and Biocontrol Strategies;
- Breeding and Selection Technologies;
- "New" Crops for Adaptation to Climate Change;
- Crop Water and Nutrient Management;
- Crop Biotic Interactions;
- Basic Plant Science;
- Precision and Digital Agriculture;
- Sustainable Farming Systems and Soil Management.
We are pleased to inform you that participation in this conference is entirely free of charge for both authors and attendees. The accepted abstracts will be published for free in MDPI’s Biology and Life Sciences Forum. Extended versions of the accepted abstracts can be published in a Special Issue of Agronomy with a 15% discount on the article processing charge (ISSN: 2073-4395). Both abstracts and Special Issue submissions will go through the standard peer review process. However, paper submission is not a requirement for active conference participation. The best oral presentation and best poster awards will receive an award of CHF 200, along with an offer to publish an extended paper for free, in the Special Issue of Agronomy.
We encourage you to explore the conference platform and guidelines provided in advance for a seamless experience. Should you have any queries or require assistance, our dedicated support team is available to ensure your participation is smooth and rewarding.
We look forward to engaging in exciting discussions and hearing new ideas and perspectives from experts in the field. All participants are welcome to join the online conference and contribute to the vibrant intellectual exchange that makes events like IECAG 2025 truly exceptional.
Kind regards,
Prof. Dr. Oscar Vicente

Oscar Vicente was born in 1956, in Madrid (Spain), where he graduated in Biochemistry in 1976 and obtained his PhD in 1983, before spending a three-year postdoctoral period at the Friedich-Miescher Institut, in Basel (Switzerland). In 1988, he moved to the Institute of Microbiology and Genetics, University of Vienna (Austria), where he established and led a research group, to work on pollen development and its biotechnological applications, and on the molecular characterization of pollen allergens and plant MAP kinases. As Assistant Professor, from 1991 to 1996, he was responsible for several courses of Experimental Genetics taught at the Faculty of Sciences. Oscar Vicente returned to Spain in 1996, to join the faculty of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, where he is at present Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, teaching different subjects in this area to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Biotechnology and Agronomic Engineering. His research interest focuses on the study of plant responses to abiotic stress and stress tolerance mechanisms.
