Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Tropical Plant Pathology focuses on plant diseases affecting economically important crops in tropical and subtropical regions. Research investigates the epidemiology, genetic diversity, and management of various plant pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Studies also explore the impact of environmental factors, such as climate change and host genetic variability, on disease development and pathogen evolution. The journal covers the efficacy of chemical and biological control methods, as well as the role of cover crops and resistant cultivars in disease management.
