About Journal

BioControl in Plant Protection is a biannually journal that was established in 2013. This journal is published by Iranian Research Institute of Plant Protection (IRIPP) with coordination of “Iranian Phytopathological Society” and “Iranian Entomological Society”

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.

This multidisciplinary journal covers:

  • Entomology: parasitoids, predators, and pathogens and their use through importation, augmentation, and/or habitat management strategies.
  • Plant Pathology: antagonism, competition, cross-protection, hyperparasitism, hypovirulence, and soil suppressiveness through naturally occurring and introduced agents
  • Nematology: predators, parasitoids, and pathogens in biological control through augmentation and/or habitat management strategies and suppressive soils through naturally occurring and introduced agents
  • Weed Science: vertebrates, invertebrates, and pathogens and their use through classical, augmentative, or bioherbicidal tactics

The following sections are included:

  • Mass production and formulation of biological products as biological control agents for use in large scale.
  • All natural products derived from living organisms
