Journal of Plant Diseases and Protection

JPDP is the scientific journal of the "Deutsche Phytomedizinische Gesellschaft". JPDP publishes original research dealing with applied scientific aspects of plant pathology, plant health, plant protection and findings on newly occurring diseases and pests. "Special Issues" on coherent themes often arising from International Conferences are offered. Scientists are encouraged to submit manuscripts on virtually all aspects of plant diseases, pathogenesis, integrated plant protection, biology and molecular biology of viruses, bacteria, phytoplasms, oomycota, fungi and herbivores, including nematodes, mites, insects, snails and rodents. In addition, manuscripts on the interaction with the host plants are welcome. We accept manuscripts from all over the world but the topics should have relevance for European plant health and protection. JPDP has significant interest in plant protection, including work describing the mode of action and efficacy of pesticides, plant strengthening agents, and aspects of pesticide resistance. Furthermore, monitoring, forecasting and application technologies will be included. Although JPDP primarily focuses on plant diseases and protection, hence the name of the journal, it also considers manuscripts on legislative aspects.
