Annals of Applied Biology publishes novel and rigorous research on all aspects of agricultural production. Our goal is to share groundbreaking science to a wide international audience, advancing our understanding of crop production, crop protection, animal health and welfare, and their impact on the environment. We especially welcome hypothesis-driven research using either theoretical or experimental approaches to answer key questions of general interest to our broad readership. The journal covers, among the others, the fields of: Agronomy, Agroecology, Animal health and welfare, Biodiversity including the interaction with both wildlife and farmland animals, Biotechnology, Forestry, Global changes, Plant breeding and genetics, Plant-microbe and plant-insect interactions, Plant physiology, Plant protection, Postharvest biology, Soil science, Weed biology.
