Jurnal Proteksi Tanaman (Journal of Plant Protection) or JPT is a peer-reviewed journal published biannually by the Department of Plant Protection at Universitas Andalas, Indonesia. The journal serves as a vital platform for the dissemination of high-quality research articles, laboratory reports, systematic review, and short communications, advancing the field of plant protection.

JPT is dedicated to exploring the challenges posed by plant pests and diseases, focusing on understanding these threats and developing effective strategies to safeguard crops. The journal covers a wide array of topics, including the study of insects, weeds, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes that affect plant health. It also delves into the science of toxicology, examining both synthetic and botanical pesticides, as well as biopesticides, and investigates the role of biological control agents such as predators, parasitoids, pathogens, and antagonistic organisms in managing plant pests.

Further, JPT explores innovative approaches in ecological engineering and biotechnology that enhance plant protection. The journal places a strong emphasis on integrated pest management strategies, promoting sustainable and environmentally responsible methods for managing pest populations.

By publishing scientifically rigorous studies, JPT aims to bridge the gap between research and practical application, offering valuable insights that support the global community’s efforts in sustainable agriculture and food security. The journal reflects a commitment to fostering advancements that contribute to the resilience and productivity of agricultural systems worldwide.
