The journal’s mission is to publish original and unpublished scientific works, in both Spanish and English, that contribute to the development and dissemination of knowledge in the fields of irrigation and drainage, agricultural mechanization, and energy applied to agriculture, as well as other related areas. Manuscripts must be original and not under review in any other scientific journal.

Its scope includes the dissemination of research results, technological innovations, case studies, extension experiences, and theoretical-practical developments that strengthen scientific and technical progress in the agricultural sector, with particular attention to tropical and subtropical conditions.

The journal is intended for researchers, professionals, technicians, and students involved in agricultural engineering and agricultural sciences who are interested in generating, applying, and transferring knowledge aimed at the rational use of water, energy, and sustainable mechanization in agriculture.

The journal accepts a variety of document types, including: original articles, technical notes, review articles, viewpoints, letters to the editor, summaries of doctoral, master’s, or specialty theses, and technical debates on previously published articles.

The topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to:

  • Irrigation and drainage techniques and technologies.
  • Agricultural mechanization technologies and equipment.
  • Water-soil-plant-atmosphere relationships.
  • Drainage and reclamation of saline soils.
  • Water quality for irrigation.
  • Testing and evaluation of agricultural engineering machines and systems.
  • Operation and maintenance of irrigation and drainage systems.
  • Organization and management of agricultural machinery.
  • Water supply for agricultural and livestock systems.
  • Use of conventional and alternative energy sources.
  • Efficient use and conservation of energy resources in agriculture.
  • Feasibility and environmental impact studies of agricultural technologies.
  • Automation and modeling of agricultural processes and technologies.
  • Geoinformatics applications and precision agriculture.
  • Gender issues and rural development.
  • Extension and transfer of agricultural technologies.
  • Animal traction.
  • Small-scale agro-industries and artisanal workshops.
  • Transportation and handling in agriculture.
  • Technical maintenance and repair.
  • Quality management in agricultural engineering.

With this focus, the journal seeks to promote the exchange of scientific and technical knowledge that contributes to innovation, sustainability, and efficiency in agricultural and agro-industrial systems.
