Research papers on products of uncertain chemical composition (e.g. crude extracts, formulations with incomplete chemical descriptions) or unknown or unclear active ingredients are not accepted for review.

We do not invite papers on efficacy comparisons of commercial products, unless the paper goes beyond efficacy comparisons and is of more than local geographic interest.

The journal may publish papers from scientific meetings of the SCI Agrisciences Group and from other selected international conferences.
