Aims & Scope

Tropical Plant Pathology is an international journal devoted to publishing a wide range of research on fundamental and applied aspects of plant diseases of concern to agricultural, forest and ornamental crops from tropical and subtropical environments.  Submissions must report original research that provides new insights into the etiology and epidemiology of plant disease as well as population biology of plant pathogens, host-pathogen interactions, physiological and molecular plant pathology, and strategies to promote crop protection.

The journal considers for publication: original articles, short communications, reviews and letters to the editor.

For more details please check the submission guidelines.

Founded in 1976, the journal is the official publication of the Brazilian Phytopathology Society.
