Aims and Scope
Phytopathology publishes articles on fundamental research that advances understanding of the nature of plant diseases, the agents that cause them, their spread, the losses they cause, and measures that can be used to control them. Phytopathology considers manuscripts covering all aspects of plant diseases including bacteriology, host-parasite biochemistry and cell biology, biological control, disease control and pest management, description of new pathogen species description of new pathogen species, ecology and population biology, epidemiology, disease etiology, host genetics and resistance, mycology, nematology, plant stress and abiotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins, and virology. Papers dealing mainly with taxonomy, such as descriptions of new plant pathogen taxa are acceptable if they include plant disease research results such as pathogenicity, host range, etc. Taxonomic papers that focus on classification, identification, and nomenclature below the subspecies level may also be submitted to Phytopathology.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
Finally, it's my turn to share. This journal is from the American Phytopathological Society. Although the impact factor is low, the quality is really good. The reviewers have strict requirements for the experimental design and even stricter language control. I tried using the Elsevier website for language polishing twice, but it didn't work, so the editor personally made the modifications. Very nice.
