BioControl
BioControl is the official journal of the International organisation for Biological Control (IOBC) (www.springer.com/life+sci/entomology/journal/10526) and presents original papers on basic and applied research in all aspects of biological control of invertebrate, vertebrate and weed pests, and plant diseases.
Over the years, it has established a leading role in publishing the finest and most exciting work on all aspects of biological control of invertebrate, vertebrate and weed pests, and plant diseases.
Coverage includes biology and ecology of organisms for biological control, and aspects of use including biological controls for integrated pest management, such as plant resistance, pheromones and intercropping. Papers presenting only laboratory trials on non-target effects of pesticides on natural enemies are not considered but papers dealing with the corresponding effects on community dynamics of natural enemies are welcomed. IOBC-APRS members can subscribe to BioControl at substantially reduced cost.
Great reasons for publishing in BioControl:
- Impact Factor: 2.2 (2023)

IOBC Internet Book of Biological Control
Version 6, February 2012. Editor: J.C. van Lenteren
Aim: to present the history, the current state of affairs and the future of biological control in order to show that this control method is sound, safe and sustainable.

IOBC-APRS Publications on Biological Control
Our members are producing scientific papers all the time. The IOBC-APRS would like to create an area for us all to share our work in the hopes of creating a closer working relationship.
Please send a list of your recent (since 2010) peer-reviewed publications on biological control and related IPM topics to mark.mcneill@agresearch.co.nz so that we can list them here for APRS members.
