I tried to outline the differences between the environmental and experimental botany format and the crop science format
I hope this helps

go to this page:
http://gist.github.com/158814
download the style using the "raw" link at the top right of the text (right-click, SaveLinkAs)
drag the file (crop-science.csl) to Firefox and click yes on install.
Any problems let me know
Please report back if everything works correctly so I can upload the style to the repository if its OK.

A few minor things. There needs to be a period after the journal/magazine name. the book edition number needs to follow the book title e.g. Fundamentals of turfgrass management. 2nd ed. Also the second line etc. of the bibliography needs to be indented just like the soil biology and biochemistry style.

Thanks again for your help.

Everything looks good. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks Adam for your effort, I'm also using this code.

thanks for pointing that out.
I have partly corrected the style - it now gives the URL with availabe and verified.
You can update it by re-installing the style.

what's the part behind the URL? The Publisher?
That's a mess, why would they put that after the website information - I think it will now appear before if the website has a publisher and location. I'm not sure how hard that would be to do - I'll need think about that for a while.

This tool is super! Thanks so much for taking the time to make a compatible interface.

we're always looking for feedback to improve styles -
but that's unrelated to "dev" - currently all but the most common styles are marked as "dev" - some of them are much better in quality than styles that aren't marked dev.

At some point Zotero should think about a way to rate styles or so, so that people have an idea of how reliable they are - but that's pipedreams for now.

it's no problem adding more dependent styles -
so you say currently missing are:
Soil Science Society of America Journal,
Journal of Environmental Quality, and
Vadose Zone Journal

We could also make a dependent style that's called ASA-CSSA-SSSA I guess, but do you really think anyone is not going to find the style if its listed under all Journal Names and the Society of Agronomy label?

Hello,

A couple of suggestions on the Agronomy Journal and Crop Science styles.

Below is the journal bibliography example Zotero outputs (Agronomy Journal style):

Brouwer, D.J., E.S. Jones, and D.A. St Clair. 2004. QTL analysis of quantitative resistance to Phytophthora infestans (late blight) in tomato and comparisons with potato. Genome. 47(3): 475-492.

However, it should be like this:
Brouwer, D.J., E.S. Jones, and D.A. St Clair. 2004. QTL analysis of quantitative resistance to Phytophthora infestans (late blight) in tomato and comparisons with potato. Genome 47: 475-492.

The main difference is: The issue# "(3)" is not included. For single-named journals (example "Genome" or "Hortscience") there is no period afterwords. However, if it was a two or more worded journal (example "Plos One") there would be a period after the journal name ("Plos One.").

Also, when citing more than one source in a paper, the ordering is by last name of the first author (I think the current way has it ordered by the journal title).

Of course, there are other little things that I do not expect to be auto-converted such as journal abbreviations ("Theoretical Biology and Medical Modeling" to "Theor. Biol. Med. Model") and italicizing species name. These sort of things will probably always require manual manipulation.

If you think I am incorrect about any of this, you can double check me by visiting the following website:
https://www.agronomy.org/publications/style

Hope you find this helpful.

1. Fair enough. It is an easy manual change for someone who is aware of it.

2. I looked back, and I think you are right. In the website above, under "abbreviations" I was threw off from "Am. Mineral." and "Ann. Amelior. Plant." examples. I didn't think Mineral and Plant were abbreviations but it turns out they are. Thanks for correcting me.

3. I am referring to in-text. The ordering of the bibliography is correct. However, I did notice Zotero ordered the following in the bibliography:

-1. Vleeshouwers, V., H. Rietman, P. Krenek, N. Champouret, C. Young, S.K. Oh, M.Q. Wang, K. Bouwmeester, B. Vosman, R.G.F. Visser, E. Jacobsen, F. Govers, S. Kamoun, and E.A.G. Van der Vossen. 2008. Effector genomics accelerates discovery and functional profiling of potato disease resistance and Phytophthora infestans avirulence genes. Plos One 3: 10.

-2. van der Vossen, E., A. Sikkema, B.T.L. Hekkert, J. Gros, P. Stevens, M. Muskens, D. Wouters, A. Pereira, W. Stiekema, and S. Allefs. 2003. An ancient R gene from the wild potato species Solanum bulbocastanum confers broad-spectrum resistance to Phytophthora infestans in cultivated potato and tomato. Plant J. 36: 867-882.

I don't know if this happened due to something I did or if the lower case "van" throws Zotero off.

the period is fixed.
You're actually wrong about number three - the style guide isn't clear, but checking the journals, in text citations should be sorted by date, not by author name, so I've not changed that.

edit: deleted part that no longer applies.

I realize this thread is pretty old. This citation style is way out of date. I have figured out how to correct the style, but I can only save a personal file onto my computer and use it that way. How could I update the public versions? This has been an issue for at least 3 years with this style...
