Pest Management Science (formerly Pesticide Science ) is an international journal of research and technology on crop protection and pest control. Since its launch in 1970, the journal has become the premier forum for papers covering all aspects of research and development, application, use and impact on the environment of products designed for pest control and crop protection.

Topics covered by the journal include:

• Applications for biotechnology and molecular biology relevant to crop, animal and public health
• Biological control, biopesticides and integrated crop management (ICM)
• Synthesis, screening, structure/activity and biochemical mode of action studies of compounds
• Physicochemical properties of new compounds; mathematical modelling and formulation studies, and application systems and their performance
• Metabolism, degradation, field performance, environmental studies and safety in use of new and existing products
• Synthetic and naturally occurring insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and growth regulators for agricultural, veterinary and public health uses
• Ecological implications of pesticide applications alone and with other methods of pest, weed and disease control
• Protection of commodities
• Toxicology, risk assessment and regulation

The journal may publish papers from scientific meetings of relevant SCI specialist groups (SCI Bioresources Group and SCI BioActive Sciences Group) and from other selected international conferences and also lists of recently adopted BSI common names for pesticides.
