Dear Colleagues,

Plant diseases, insects, weeds, and other pest species have been a persistent danger to the availability of food ever since people have depended on cultivated crops as their primary source of nutrition. The different stresses that agricultural crops are exposed to are the main obstacle to the quantity and quality of the crop, and therefore researchers resort to finding effective solutions that limit the impact of these pressures. New insights into plant disease management are required to improve protection strategies. Practical pest management plans may include various control methods to address agricultural systems globally. Crop protection has a special emphasis on the practical elements of management in the field and for protected crops, and it includes work that might soon result in more effective control. Crop protection includes all relevant practical elements of weed, pest, and disease management.

 

We welcome submissions that explore new insights into plant disease management, as well as practical pest management plans that may include various control methods to address agricultural systems globally. Crop protection includes all relevant practical elements of weed, pest, and disease management.
