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.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
