Scope

• The editors welcome papers that describe an interdisciplinary approach, showing how different control strategies can be integrated into a practical pest management programme.编辑欢迎描述跨学科方法的论文，这类论文说明不同的防治策略如何整合进一套实际的害虫管理方案。

• The journal covers both high input and low input agricultural systems worldwide, since a method must suit the farm it is meant for.该刊覆盖全世界高投入与低投入的农业系统，因为一种方法必须适合它所面向的农场。

• It emphasises the practical aspects of control in the field, and work done under field conditions is valued above a result obtained only in a greenhouse.该刊侧重田间防治的实际方面，在田间条件下完成的工作比仅在温室中获得的结果更受重视。

• Protected crops are named as well, so a study of a crop grown under cover falls inside the programme.保护地作物也被列出，因此对覆盖条件下栽培作物的研究属于该刊选题。

• The journal takes work that may lead in the near future to more effective control, so a promising line is not set aside for being untested at scale.该刊接收可能在近期带来更有效防治的工作，因此一条有前景的路线不会因尚未大规模检验而被搁置。

• It does not duplicate the biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental sides of plant pathology and applied zoology.该刊不重复那些生物科学期刊，后者主要处理植物病理学与应用动物学的更基础方面。

• Abiotic injury to a crop is named among the subjects, since a plant may be harmed by something other than a pest.作物的非生物损伤被列为选题之一，因为植物可能被害虫之外的因素伤害。

• Agronomic control methods are taken, and a paper may report how a practice of cultivation reduces a problem.农艺防治方法会被接收，论文可以报告某种栽培做法如何减轻某一问题。

• The assessment of pests and diseases has a place in the journal, since a control decision rests on a measurement.害虫与病害的评估在该刊占有一席之地，因为防治决策依托于测量。

• Molecular methods for the detection of a pest or a pathogen are accepted, and a test may be reported before it is widely used.害虫或病原体的分子检测方法会被接收，一种检测可以在广泛使用之前就被报道。

• Biological control and biopesticides appear among the subjects, so a paper may study a natural enemy of a pest.生物防治与生物农药出现在选题之中，因此论文可以研究某种害虫的天敌。

• The control of animal pests of the world's crops is covered, and the control of diseases caused by microorganisms is covered beside it.世界作物上动物害虫的防治也在覆盖之列，微生物所致病害的防治与之并列。

• Weed control and integrated management are named, and the compatibility of two control strategies may be examined in a paper.杂草防治与综合管理被列出，论文可以考察两种防治策略的相容性。

• Economic considerations are taken, since a method that costs more than the loss it prevents will not be adopted.经济方面的考量会被接收，因为一种花费高于其所避免损失的防治方法不会被采用。

• The environmental benefit of reduced pesticide use is studied, and the environmental impact of a pesticide is studied beside it.减少农药使用的环境效益受到研究，农药的环境影响与之并列研究。

• The epidemiology of a pest or a disease in relation to its control is taken, since the pattern of an outbreak guides what is done.害虫或病害的流行病学与其防治的关系会被接收，因为发生的格局指导所采取的行动。

• Genetically modified crops and applications of genetic engineering are named among the subjects.转基因作物与基因工程的应用被列为选题之一。

• Post-harvest losses are covered, along with the control that limits them.收获后的损失也在覆盖之列，以及限制这些损失的防治措施。

• Invasive species are studied where they bear on the field, since a new arrival may change the whole picture for a grower.入侵物种在该领域相关之处受到研究，因为一位新来者可能改变种植者的整个局面。

• The journal takes work on the resistance of a pest to a pesticide, since a control that once worked may lose its power within a few seasons.该刊接收害虫对农药的抗性方面的工作，因为一种曾奏效的防治可能在几个季节内失去效力。

• A paper may report a study of how a farmer decides when to spray, which ties the biology of the pest to the economics of the farm.论文可以报告农民如何决定何时喷药的研究，这把害虫的生物学与农场的经济学联系起来。

• The journal publishes work on seed treatment and on the protection of a young plant, since a crop is most vulnerable at the start.该刊发表种子处理与幼苗保护方面的工作，因为作物在起始阶段最为脆弱。

• Work on the monitoring of a pest population is taken, since a decision to act rests on knowing how many are present.害虫种群监测方面的工作会被接收，因为采取行动的决定依托于知道其数量有多少。

• The journal covers the management of a problem across a whole rotation, so a paper may follow a field over several years.该刊覆盖整个轮作周期中某一问题的管理，因此论文可以跟踪一块田多年。

• A study of how a control method affects a non-target organism is welcome, since a side effect may undo its benefit.防治方法如何影响非靶标生物的研究受到欢迎，因为副作用可能抵消其益处。

• The journal takes work on the application of a treatment by drone, since a new tool changes what a grower can do.该刊接收用无人机施药方面的工作，因为一种新工具改变了种植者所能做的事。

• A paper may study how a control method performs across several soil types, since a field is rarely uniform.论文可以研究一种防治方法在多种土壤类型上的表现，因为田块很少是均一的。

• The journal covers the training of a grower in a new practice, because a method is useful only when it is adopted.该刊覆盖种植者在新做法上的培训，因为一种方法只有在被采用时才是有用的。

• The journal takes work on the use of a resistant crop variety, since a plant that resists a pest needs less treatment.该刊接收抗性作物品种的使用方面的工作，因为抗虫的植株需要更少的处理。
