International Journal of Plant Production (IJPP), a peer reviewed research journal, is published by Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (GUASNR) in yearly volumes of four issues. Special issues devoted to single topics are also published.The dramatic increases in population and living standards have led to serious concerns over the food production and sustainability and environmental impact of modem agriculture. In the future, more food must be produced on less land. On the other hand, irrespective of huge development and basic research in plant molecular biology and plant biotechnology in recent years, application of the findings to problem solving in plant production has been very slow. Much effort is needed in this regard. Rapid production of scientific knowledge and technology transfer is required to meet world food demand. International journals do play important role in this aspect by publishing timely, relevant and cutting-edge research results. Regarding this point and the growing community of plant production scientists and increasing number of manuscripts submitted to international journals, Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (www.gau.ac.ir), Gorgan, Iran, on its 50th anniversary (in 2007), launched International Journal of Plant Production (www.ijpp.info) to have a share in scientific production at international level.

《國際植物生產雜志》(IJPP)是一份同行評議的研究期刊，由高根農業科學與自然資源大學(GUASNR)出版，年刊四期。還出版專門討論單一主題的特刊。人口和生活水平的急劇增長引起了人們對現代農業的糧食生產、可持續性和環境影響的嚴重關注。將來，必須用更少的土地生產更多的糧食。另一方面，盡管近年來植物分子生物學和植物生物技術取得了巨大的發展和基礎研究，但這些研究成果在解決植物生產中的應用卻十分緩慢。在這方面需要作出許多努力。為了滿足世界糧食需求，需要迅速生產科學知識和技術轉讓。國際期刊在這方面發揮了重要作用，它們及時發表了相關的前沿研究成果。關于這一點和工廠生產的日益增長的社會科學家和越來越多的手稿提交給國際期刊,Gorgan大學農業科學和自然資源(www.gau.ac.ir), Gorgan,伊朗在其50周年(2007年),推出了國際期刊的植物生產(www.ijpp.info)有一個分享科學生產在國際層面。
