PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE

Pest Management Science is the international journal of research and development in crop protection and pest control. Since its launch in 1970, the journal has become the premier forum for papers on the discovery, application, and impact on the environment of products and strategies designed for pest management. 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 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.
