The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies
can be integrated into practical pest management programmes, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection
particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the
near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which
deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical
aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:
Abiotic damage
Agronomic control methods
Assessment
of pest and disease damage
Biological control
Biorational pesticides
Control of animal pests of world crops
Control
of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms
Control of weeds and integrated management
Economic and social considerations
Effects of plant growth regulators
Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use
Environmental effects of pesticides
Epidemiology
of pests and diseases in relation to control
Food safety
GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications
Importance and control
of postharvest crop losses
Integrated control
Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies
Invasive
species as they relate to implications for crop protection
Pesticide application methods
Pest management
Resistance management
Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
The editors of Crop Protection invite workers concerned
with pest, disease and weed control to submit suitable contributions on any topic falling within the aims and scope of the journal.
