Abstract
If in plant secondary metabolites, the presence of pesticides and nutritional balances are the most important determinants of nutritional value of food plants, then organically produced plant foods could be expected to bemore health-promoting than conventional foods. Differences arise in management practices between organic and conventional farming where the former support (a) an activation of the plant defence mechanisms by excluding synthetic plant protection agents, (b) an active soil life where plants and microbes interact, exchanging certain metabolic compounds and (c) a balanced mineral nutrient uptake where excesses of easily available nutrients are avoided.

Acta Agriculturæ Scandinavica Section B publishes original research in applied soil and plant science with special attention given to to crop production in agri- and horticultural systems. We welcome manuscripts dealing with:
Climate smart and sustainable crop production systems
Water and nutrient efficiency
Soil conservation and productivity
Precise agriculture systems
Applications of bio- and nanotechnology
Digitalisation and robotics
Soil-plant interactions
Acta Agriculturæ Scandinavica, Section B – Soil & Plant Science forms part of a series of titles published on behalf of the Nordic Association of Agricultural Science (NJF). The series also includes Section A - Animal Science .
