Aims & Scope

In February 2009, Thomson Reuters added official Five-Year Impact Factors, Eigenfactors and Article Influence Scores to the 2007 JCR.  An explanation of these new metrics can be found at http://science.thomsonreuters.com/press/2009/8499916/

Biocontrol Science and Technology presents original research and reviews in the fields of biological pest, disease and weed control. The journal covers the following areas:
  • Animal pest control by natural enemies
  • Biocontrol of plant diseases
  • Weed biocontrol
  • 'Classical' biocontrol
  • Augmentative releases of natural enemies
  • Quality control of beneficial organisms
  • Microbial pesticides
  • Properties of biocontrol agents, modes of actions and methods of application
  • Physiology and behaviour of biocontrol agents and their interaction with hosts
  • 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.
