Aims and scope

Crops constitute the foundation of agricultural productivity, food security and ecosystem preservation, and are key to sustaining life on Earth. In the face of global change, crop health is increasingly under threat by pests, diseases, weeds and abiotic stress. Crop Health serves as a comprehensive platform for disseminating the fundamental understanding and technological innovation in disease, pest and environmental pollution management, and resistance breeding and engineering.

Aiming to be a leading academic journal, Crop Health is dedicated to publishing high-quality papers, covering all aspects connected to crop health with a particular interest in regards to cross-disciplinary research. Article types in this journal include original research articles, letters, short communications, reviews and perspectives.

Topics covered in the journal include, but are not limited to: Arthropod-borne diseases, abiotic stress, biological control, biotoxins, ecology & evolution, environmental biology, environmental toxicology, epigenetics, global climate change, insect science, invasion biology, rodent biology, microbiome & multitrophic interaction, mite biology, nanotechnology, pathogen biology, pesticide science, phenotyping, plant biotic interactions, plant pathology, plant resilience, plant immunity and resistance, weed science.
