With a focus on the tropics and sub-tropical regions of the world, Experimental Agriculture publishes the results of original research on field, plantation and herbage crops grown for food or feed, or for industrial purposes, and on farming systems, including livestock and people. It reports experimental work designed to explain how crops respond to the environment in biological and physical terms, and on the social and economic issues that may influence the uptake of the results of research by policy makers and farmers. The journal also publishes accounts and critical discussions of new quantitative and qualitative methods in agricultural research, and of contemporary issues arising in countries where agricultural production needs to develop rapidly. There are occasional, often invited, reviews of research.
Referees critically review each paper and one, where appropriate, may be asked to comment specifically on biometric aspects. On their advice the Editor accepts or rejects the paper, or returns the typescript to the author(s) for revision.
