Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the first Special Issue “Advances and Challenges for the Management of Lepidopteran Pests” of Agronomy, the editorial office would like to launch a second edition of this Special Issue. The subject, the editorial team, and the submission process will remain the same.
The management of lepidopteran pests has been a constant challenge in several agricultural crops in different countries. It is known that innovative solutions for the control of lepidopteran pests have been or are being developed by several public and private companies. These innovations have changed the approach to monitoring, managing, and controlling lepidopteran pests in various agricultural crops. Given this perspective, the publication of discoveries and innovations is essential for scientific advancement in the management of these pests. Therefore, we invite researchers from public and private companies to contribute to this Special Issue.
With this Special Issue of Agronomy, we seek studies that represent innovative advances in the management of lepidopteran pests in the most diverse crops, as well as reviews that offer original perspectives on advances in the control of lepidopteran pests that attack agricultural crops.
Dr. Oderlei Bernardi
Guest Editor
