Exploring Plant-Derived Compounds for Effective Insect Pest Management in Agriculture

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic, entitled “Exploring Plant-Derived Compounds for Effective Insect Pest Management in Agriculture”, examines the discovery of plant natural products involved in host-plant resistance, the application of plant metabolites as botanical insecticides or repellents, and the synthesis of more potent molecules for use as agrichemicals, including insecticides and synergists. Submissions may focus on the use of natural products chemistry to isolate and identify new molecules, the investigation of the bioactivity of plant metabolites using insect models, and the investigation of the toxicity or compatibility of botanicals/insecticides with beneficials such as pollinators, predators, and parasitoids. New findings and uses for previously discovered natural products are also of interest.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
