Aim & Scope

Farms, herds and the land they depend on are under pressure from a growing population, a changing climate and new diseases that move easily between animals and people. The Indo-American Journal of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences (IAJAVS) publishes research that helps crops and animals stay productive and healthy, and helps the people who depend on them.

We welcome field, laboratory and clinical work, and we particularly value studies that farmers, veterinarians, extension workers or policymakers could put to use.

  • Agronomy, crop production and crop physiology
