This journal publishes research on the development, synthesis, and evaluation of chemical compounds and biological agents for pest and disease control in agriculture and other settings. It covers the investigation of insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, and antimicrobial activities, as well as the environmental fate and degradation of these agents. The scope also includes studies on resistance mechanisms in pests and pathogens, and the development of novel delivery systems and biotechnological approaches for crop protection.
