Pest Management Science

Scope

Topics covered by the journal include: • Applications of biotechnology and molecular biology relevant to pest management • Biological control, biopesticides and integrated pest management (IPM) • Resistance of pests to pest management products and strategies • Synthesis, discovery, screening, structure/activity and biochemical mode of action of insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and other pesticides • Properties and use of new pest management products and strategies • Formulation and application methods for pest management products • Metabolism, degradation, field performance, environmental studies and safety in use of new and existing pest management products • Naturally occurring materials for pest management • Genetic and ecological implications of pest management products and methods • Protection of commodities from pests • Toxicology, risk assessment and regulation of pest management products and methods • Economic impact of pest management products and methods • Pest biology as it relates to pest management Research papers on products of uncertain chemical composition (e.g. crude extracts, formulations with incomplete chemical descriptions) or unknown or unclear active ingredients are not accepted for review. The journal may publish papers from scientific meetings of the SCI Agrisciences Group and from other selected international conferences.
