Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past few decades, conventional agriculture around the world heavily relies on pesticides to control pest species and significantly enhance crop yields. However, the large-scale application of pesticides will pose a serious threat to crop systems, environment ecosystems (air, water, and soil), and consumers’ health. Relevant studies on residual stresses, environmental fate, and toxic effects have become increasingly important in recent years. Various pesticide residue detection methods and technologies are also developing rapidly.
This Special Issue aims to collate research in pesticide analysis. We welcome manuscripts focusing on, but not limited to, analysis methods centered around the development of pesticides in the different matrix, as well as the toxic effects and toxic mechanisms of pesticides on non-target environmental organisms or mammals.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
