Special Issue on Crop Protection, Diseases, Pest and Weeds

Crops are vulnerable to attack, damage, and competition. Insects, plant disease, nematodes, rodents, weeds, and air pollution are among the many enemies that can reduce crop yields and deny man the use of some of his farm-stored crops. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of Crop Protection, Diseases, Pest and Weeds.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Crop Protection, Diseases, Pest and Weeds. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Genetic and molecular basis of crop resistance to pathogens
• Advanced research of crop plant interactions with bacteria and fungi
• Agroecological crop protection in low-input agricultural systems
• Herbicide physiology and environmental fate
• Molecular aspects of plant–nematode interactions
• Biotechnological approaches for improving crop resistance to diseases
• The use of genomic technologies in the biocontrol of fungal diseases in crops
• Interactions between microorganisms in plant diseases
• Pests, diseases and crop protection practices

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Crop Protection, Diseases, Pest and Weeds” should be selected during your submission.
