This journal focuses on biological control agents and methods for managing agricultural pests and diseases. Research includes the identification and efficacy of natural enemies such as parasitoids, entomopathogenic fungi, and predatory insects. Studies also investigate the use of plant extracts, microbial agents, and nanoparticles as environmentally friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides within integrated pest management frameworks. The journal covers research on insect biology, predator-prey interactions, and the development of sustainable biopesticide formulations.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
