Journal History
Founded in 2013, Jurnal Keteknikan Pertanian Tropis dan Biosistem (JKPTB) has published the state-of-art articles which focus on both fundamental studies and applied engineering. Four scopes (1. Power and Agricultural Machinery, 2. Mechatronics and Agro-industrial Machinery, 3. Food and Post-Harvest Technology, 4. Soil and Water Engineering) and other related topics make JKPTB become the reference for many scientist and stakeholders who work on Agricultural Engineering. As for our commitment to advance the technology in agriculture, we are delighted to invite potential authors to publish the article in our homepage journal (jkptb.ub.ac.id).
