Biological Control: Approaches and Applications

Biological control is a common practice in agriculture and, for centuries, it was the only way to control pests. Natural enemies were collected from the original source of the pest and released in areas where pests needed control. The aim was to achieve the establishment of the natural enemy, as well as maintaining long-term control. 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 the area of Biological Control: Approaches and Applications.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Biological Control: Approaches and Applications. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Entomology
• Plant pathology
• Nematology
• Weed science  
• Molecular technology
• Conservation biological control of pests
• Modern approaches in augmentation of natural enemies
• Landscape ecology and the conservation of natural enemies

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 - Biological Control: Approaches and Applications” should be selected during your submission.
