Journal Title：Crop Protection

The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, 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-

Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases-

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 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-

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-

Phytobiomes for pest and disease control-

Resistance management-

Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.

作物保护的编辑特别欢迎描述跨学科方法的论文，这些方法展示了如何将不同的控制策略整合到实际的害虫管理计划中，涵盖全球高投入和低投入的农业系统。作物保护特别强调田间控制和受保护作物的实际方面，包括可能在不久的将来导致更有效控制的工作。该期刊不重复现有的许多优秀生物科学期刊，主要涉及植物病理学、应用动物学和杂草科学等更基础的方面。作物保护涵盖害虫、疾病和杂草控制的所有实际方面，包括以下主题：
