RESEARCH ON CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS FROM EDIBLE MUSHROOMS FOR THE CONTROL OF GASTROINTESTINAL NEMATODES AND PHYTOPARASITES

期刊介绍:
The journal is an international peer-reviewed publication devoted to disseminate original information contributing to the understanding and development of agroecosystems in tropical and subtropical areas. The Journal recognizes the multidisciplinary nature of its scope and encourages the submission of original manuscripts from all of the disciplines involved in this area. Original contributions are welcomed in relation to the study of particular components of the agroecosystems (i.e. plant, animal, soil) as well as the resulting interactions and their relationship/impact on society and environment. The journal does not received manuscripts based solely on economic acpects o food technology.
