Biocontrol Science and Technology presents original research and reviews in the fields of biological pest, disease and weed control. The journal covers the following areas:
Animal pest control by natural enemies
Biocontrol of plant diseases
Weed biocontrol
'Classical' biocontrol
Augmentative releases of natural enemies
Quality control of beneficial organisms
Microbial pesticides
Properties of biocontrol agents, modes of actions and methods of application
Physiology and behaviour of biocontrol agents and their interaction with hosts
Pest and natural enemy dynamics, and simulation modelling
Genetic improvement of natural enemies including genetic manipulation
Natural enemy production, formulation, distribution and release methods
Environmental impact studies
Releases of selected and/or genetically manipulated organisms
Safety testing
The role of biocontrol methods in integrated crop protection
Conservation and enhancement of natural enemy populations
Effects of pesticides on biocontrol organisms
Biocontrol legislation and policy, registration and commercialization.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and review by at least two expert anonymous referees.
Please note: Manuscripts covering research on biopesticides which do not contain living organisms are not considered for publication in this journal.
