Biological Control

Biological control is an environmentally sound and effective means of reducing or mitigating pests and pest effects through the use of natural enemies. The aim of Biological Control is to promote this science and technology through publication of original research articles and reviews of research and theory. The journal devotes a section to reports on biotechnologies dealing with the elucidation and use of genes or gene products for the enhancement of biological control agents. The journal encompasses biological control of viral, microbial, nematode, insect, mite, weed, and vertebrate pests in agriculture, aquatic, forest, natural resource, stored product, and urban environments. Biological control of arthropod pests of human and domestic animals is also included. Ecological, molecular, and biotechnological approaches to the understanding of biological control are welcome.

《生物防治》是一种环保且有效的方法，通过使用天敌来减少或减轻害虫及其影响。《生物防治》旨在通过发表原创研究文章和研究与理论评论来推广这门科学和技术。该期刊专门有一节关于生物技术的报告，涉及阐明和使用基因或基因产物来增强生物防治剂。 该期刊涵盖了农业、水生、森林、自然资源、储藏产品和城市环境中的病毒、微生物、线虫、昆虫、螨虫、杂草和脊椎动物害虫的生物防治。还包括对人类和家畜节肢动物害虫的生物防治。欢迎采用生态、分子和生物技术方法来理解生物防治。
