Review of Agricultural Entomology is a fully searchable abstracts database.

Derived from CAB Abstracts, the original life sciences database, Review of Agricultural Entomology brings you the latest information on crop protection against insect and other arthropod pests of plants and stored products.

The database also covers slugs and snails as crop pests, and beneficial arthropods, such as silkworms, pollinators and natural enemies used in biological control of other arthropods and weeds. For completeness, damage by and control of vertebrate pests of crops and stored products is also included.

Coverage is designed to keep readers up to date with important developments in pests affecting field and horticultural crops, forest trees and plant products. Also covered are general aspects of insecticides, acaricides, and molluscicides, such as legislation and safety, and non-target effects on other organisms and the environment.

Each week Review of Agricultural Entomology Online delivers all the new highly-targeted, searchable summaries covering key English and foreign language journal articles, reports, conferences and books about Agricultural Entomology. Over 20,000 records are added to the database each year.

Review of Agricultural Entomology Online includes a fully searchable backfile to 1972. Over 490,000 research summaries bring a wealth of current and seminal research in Agricultural Entomology to your fingertips
