The
Hellenic Plant Protection Journal (
HPPJ) (ISSN 1791-3691) is the scientific publication of the
Benaki Phytopathological Institute (BPI) replacing the
Annals of the Benaki Phytopathological
Institute
(ISSN 1790-1480) which had been published since 1935. Starting from January 2008, the
Hellenic Plant Protection Journal
is published semiannually, in January and July each year.
HPPJ publishes scientific work on all aspects of plant health and plant protection referring to plant
pathogens, pests, weeds, pesticides and relevant environmental and safety issues. In addition, the
topics of the journal extend to aspects related to pests of public health in agricultural and urban
areas.
Papers submitted for publication can be either in the form of a complete research article or in
the form of a sufficiently documented short communication (including new records). Only original
articles which have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere are considered
for publication in the journal. Review articles in related topics, either submitted or invited by the
Editorial Board, are also published, normally one article per issue. Upon publication all articles are
copyrighted by the BPI.
Manuscripts should be prepared according to instructions available to authors and submitted
in electronic form on line at
. All submitted manuscripts are considered and
published after successful completion of a review procedure by two competent referees.
The content of the articles published in HPPJ reflects the view and the official position of the
authors. The information and opinions contained herein have not been adopted or approved by the
HPPJ Editorial Board. The HPPJ Editorial Board neither guarantees the accuracy of the information
