Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Historically, research on the ecology of insect species in the context of biological control has remained largely in demand, particularly when it is focused on insects of economic importance. The biological control of pests has been widely practiced since ancient times; nevertheless, more studies highlighting its importance are being conducted today. To this end, we are launching a Special Issue on pest ecology and biological control in oil and row crops. The main required article types are articles (original research manuscripts) and reviews (concise and precise updates on the latest progress made in each area of research).
