International Pest Control – July/August 2022 – Vol 64, Nr.4
With no sign of the war in Ukraine coming to an end any time soon and with every chance this could prove to be a long drawn-out war the issue of grain shortages combined with high fuel and fertiliser costs means that any research that suggests we could maintain yields with reduced inputs has to […]
International Pest Control – January/February 2022 – Vol 64, Nr.1
We are a little late getting this issue out in part due to the intervention of Covid but all well now and hopefully we will catch up during the year. We kick off with measuring a crop’s carbon footprint which seems timely following COP26. Arable agriculture has a role to play in reducing greenhouse gas […]
International Pest Control – November/December 2021 – Vol 63, Nr.6
It is sad, but not unexpected, to read that the COVID pandemic has undermined decades of development according to the UN FAO.

International Pest Control – September/October 2021 – Vol 63, Nr.5
Grassland is in trouble around the world and climate change is exacerbating the problem.

The UK’s environmental guardians Defra are looking to completely ban glue boards while […]
International Pest Control – May/June 2021 – Vol 63, Nr.3
In this issue our special feature is Application Technology but we kick off our news section with the FAO’s review of progress in the fight against FAW which is one pest that seems to figure more and more frequently in our pages. Good progress, but more effort and funding needed would seem to be the […]
International Pest Control – March/April 2021 – Vol 63, Nr.2

We are always interested in publishing accessible summaries of published papers or completed practical field research. The guidelines are available on our website but put simply 1,200 to 2,400 words.

International Pest Control – January/February 2021 – Vol 63, Nr.1
2021, whatever happened to 2020? A quick look at our events calendar suggests that this year will be another year of virtual events with few chances to get together until autumn at the earliest. This issue kicks off with a look at the highly rated CABI compendium of Invasive Species before moving on to consider […]
