Pesticide periodical: a publication that publishes pesticide research reports and information. The contents of pesticides involve chemistry, chemical engineering, insects, plant pathology, weeds, agriculture, medicine and other biological disciplines and environmental sciences. Before 1970s, papers, discussions and information about pesticide research were mainly published in journals related to the above disciplines. Since 1970s, professional pesticide periodicals have gradually increased, such as Pesticide Science, Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology, Journal of Japanese Pesticide Society, Pesticide Outlook, Pesticide Translation Series, etc.

Although there are some professional pesticide journals, a large number of pesticide research reports, reviews and information are still scattered in various pesticide-related magazines. Such as Journal of American Chemical Society, JournalofOrganicChemisty, ChemischeBerichte, AngewandteChemie and Perkin Exchange of British Chemical Society (J.C.S. Perkin Transaction).
