Phytoparasitica

Phytoparasitica is an international journal on Plant Protection, that publishes original research contributions on the biological, chemical and molecular aspects of Entomology, Plant Pathology, Virology, Nematology, and Weed Sciences, which strives to improve scientific knowledge and technology for IPM, in forest and agroecosystems. Phytoparasitica emphasizes new insights into plant disease and pest etiology, epidemiology, host-parasite/pest biochemistry and cell biology, ecology and population biology, host genetics and resistance, disease vector biology, plant stress and biotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins. Research can cover aspects related to the nature of plant diseases, pests and weeds, the causal agents, their spread, the losses they cause, crop loss assessment, and novel tactics and approaches for their management.
