Biological Control (BC)

Biological Control is an established, monthly peer‑reviewed journal published by Elsevier that serves as a premier global forum for scientific research on biological means of managing and controlling pest populations in agricultural and natural systems. The journal emphasizes the fundamental biological mechanisms underlying pest regulation by living organisms such as predators, parasitoids, entomopathogenic fungi and bacteria, and other biocontrol agents, as well as applied strategies for effective pest suppression. Topics include mechanisms of host–agent interactions, ecology and dynamics of pest populations, development and optimization of biological products and formulations, integration of biological control with other pest management practices, and environmental safety and sustainability assessments. The journal welcomes original research articles, comprehensive reviews, meta‑analyses and methodological advancements that enhance scientific understanding and practical implementation of biological control. Its broad scope spans multiple biological disciplines including entomology, plant pathology, nematology and weed science, making it relevant for academic researchers, extension educators, agronomists and policy advisors. Recent initiatives include transition to open access publishing while maintaining rigorous peer review standards and promoting high‑impact research that supports sustainable agriculture and ecosystem health worldwide.
