  • Postharvest Biology and Technology

    • ISSN: 0925-5214
    Postharvest Biology and Technology is devoted exclusively to the publication of original papers, review articles and frontiers articles on biological and technological postharvest research of horticultural crops including fruit, vegetables, grapes, flowers, tea and nuts, but excluding grains, seeds, forages and spices.All aspects of postharvest research throughout the supply chain will be considered, including storage technologies, treatments and underpinning mechanisms, quality evaluation, packaging, handling, and distribution.The following research areas will be considered if they directly affect postharvest science: preharvest factors, ripening and senescence, product safety, systems biology, bioinformatics, entomology, plant physiology, plant pathology, (bio)chemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, engineering, modelling, economics, and technology development.Manuscri... on the effect of treatments on the storage life of a product should have a mechanistic component and must include research on the physiological effects and working principles of the treatments. Manuscripts that report on technological development must be related to the biological processes of the product and should include a strong relationship with postharvest biology and technology. These studies should also demonstrate robustness of use, with exploration of limiting factors, typically through assessments using populations from different growing or storage conditions, seasons, cultivars, etc. Manuscripts reporting novel fundamental and interdisciplinary research that addresses biological, technological, and socio-economic issues that impact technology acceptance, are encouraged.The focus of this journal is on fresh horticultural products. Manuscripts on products that will be further processed after postharvest storage, or on treatments beyond refrigeration, packaging and minimal processing will be considered but only if linked strongly to the quality and provenance of the products at the time of harvest.

  • Crop Protection

    • ISSN: 0261-2194
    The Official Journal of the International Association for the Plant Protection SciencesThe Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:Abiotic damageAgronomic control methodsAssessment of pest and disease damageMolecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseasesBiological controlBiorational pesticidesControl of animal pests of world cropsControl of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganismsContro... of weeds and integrated managementEconomic considerationsEffect... of plant growth regulatorsEnvironmen... benefits of reduced pesticide useEnvironmental effects of pesticidesEpidemiolo... of pests and diseases in relation to controlGM Crops, and genetic engineering applicationsImportan... and control of postharvest crop lossesIntegrated controlInterrelation... and compatibility among different control strategiesInvasive species as they relate to implications for crop protectionPesticide application methodsPest managementPhytobiome... for pest and disease controlResistance managementSampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.The editors of Crop Protection invite workers concerned with pest, disease and weed control to submit suitable contributions on any topic falling within the aims and scope of the journal.

  • Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment

    • ISSN: 0167-8809
    An interdisciplinary journal on the interactions between agroecosystems and the environmentAgricultu... Ecosystems & Environment is a leading interdisciplinary forum that publishes research investigating all aspects of agroecological science. Our objective is to advance understanding of the patterns and processes governing agroecosystem functions, interactions with the environment and provision of ecosystem services. A central theme is how agriculture influences the environment and how changes in that environment impact agroecosystems.Agric... Ecosystems & Environment publishes novel, high impact research conducted at various spatial scales - from experimental plots and field trials to farm-, agroecosystem- and landscape-level investigations - with preference given to hypothesis-based and/or data-rich investigations. We particularly encourage broadly significant studies of agroecosystems that deal with cross-scale interactions, bridge scientific disciplines or integrate new knowledge and perspectives relevant to agroecosystem management or agri-environmental policies. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment rarely publishes papers focused on the management of a specific agricultural system in a particular environmental setting unless the research produces new and compelling findings; therefore, submissions should be placed in an international and/or widely comparative context.All manuscripts are initially screened on their topic suitability. AGEE's core subject-matter fields/topics include (but are not limited to): • Mechanisms governing bio-physical features and functioning of agroecosystems (e.g., the biogeochemistry, ecology, and sustainability of agricultural systems) • The interplay between agroecosystems and the environment (soil, air, and water) and the role of ecological processes in provision of ecosystem services • Agroecosystems and their role in catalyzing/mitigatin... global change (climate change, greenhouse gases and biodiversity loss) • Ecological consequences of land use intensification and other human impacts (soil degradation and erosion, water and waste management, and associated mitigation approaches) • Environmental implications of agricultural land use and land use change (biodiversity conservation and land management, and ecological restoration and stewardship)The following topics are discouraged unless they provide new information that complements AGEE's core subject-matter areas: • Inventory and survey analysis (including life cycle and energy analysis) • Impact assessment and environmental/compli... monitoring investigations • Exclusively greenhouse- or laboratory-based studies • Studies on the development of models or methodologies and pure model applications • Studies that are purely agronomic, socio-economic, or political

  • Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology

    • ISSN: 0048-3575
    Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology publishes original research, review, and perspective articles focusing on the physiological, biochemical, and molecular aspects of plant and animal protection agents. These include chemical and microbial pesticides, pesticidal proteins and nucleic acids, parasiticides, repellents, and growth regulators. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, modes of action; detoxification pathways; resistance mechanisms; regulatory pathways influencing toxicity; biochemical and molecular strategies to enhance pesticide efficacy; and the development of nucleic acid–based pesticides and related biotechnologies for pest management.Manuscrip... are considered unsuitable if their primary focus is on pesticide efficacy testing; laboratory studies involving pesticide formulations or crude extracts from plants or other organisms; or computational analyses such as bioinformatics, molecular modeling, or docking without experimental validation. Studies investigating non-target effects at environmentally irrelevant doses or concentrations are also not appropriate for this journal.
