《作物保護》的編輯們特別歡迎描述跨學科方法的論文，這些論文展示了如何將不同的控制策略集成到實際的蟲害管理項目中，覆蓋全球高投入和低投入的農業系統。作物保護特別強調實地控制和保護作物的實際方面，包括可能在不久的將來導致更有效控制的工作。該雜志不復制現有的許多優秀的生物科學雜志，這些雜志主要涉及植物病理學、應用動物學和雜草科學的更基本的方面。作物保護包括害蟲、疾病和雜草控制的所有實際方面，包括下列主題:非生物的傷害農藝控制方法病蟲害危害評估害蟲和疾病的分子檢測和評估方法生物防治無公害農藥控制世界農作物的動物害蟲控制由微生物引起的農作物病害雜草控制和綜合管理經濟及社會因素植物生長調節劑的作用減少使用殺蟲劑對環境的好處除害劑對環境的影響與防治有關的病蟲害流行病學轉基因作物和基因工程應用作物采后損失的重要性及控制綜合控制不同控制策略之間的相互關系和兼容性入侵物種，因為它們涉及作物保護的含義農藥的應用方法害蟲管理植物生物學:防治病蟲害阻力管理疾病、線蟲、害蟲和雜草的抽樣和監測計劃。《作物保護》的編輯們邀請與病蟲害和雜草控制有關的工作人員就該雜志的目標和范圍內的任何主題提交適當的稿件。

The 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 Protectionparticularly 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 microorganismsControl of weeds and integrated managementEconomic and social considerationsEffects of plant growth regulatorsEnvironmental benefits of reduced pesticide useEnvironmental effects of pesticidesEpidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to controlGM Crops, and genetic engineering applicationsImportance and control of postharvest crop lossesIntegrated controlInterrelationships and compatibility among different control strategiesInvasive species as they relate to implications for crop protectionPesticide application methodsPest managementPlant bioms: 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.
