Aims & Scope

Aims

  • To promote advanced research in crop health, plant protection, pesticide science, and sustainable agricultural practices.

  • To provide a scholarly platform for research on crop diseases, pests, pesticides, and emerging challenges in modern agriculture.

  • To encourage innovative research on integrated pest management, biological control, precision agriculture, and environmentally responsible crop protection.

  • To support interdisciplinary research connecting agricultural sciences, plant pathology, entomology, pesticide chemistry, environmental science, and sustainable farming.

  • To facilitate academic and professional dialogue on the safe, effective, and sustainable use of pesticides and other crop protection technologies.

  • To contribute to the development of sustainable agricultural systems that improve crop productivity while protecting ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health.
