Biological Agriculture & Horticulture aims to act as the central focus for a wide range of studies into alternative systems of husbandry, and particularly the biological or organic approach to food production. The Journal publishes work of a sound scientific or economic nature related to any aspect of biological husbandry in agriculture, horticulture and forestry in both temperate and tropical conditions, including energy and water utilization, and environmental impact. Biological husbandry avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic compounded fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, livestock feed additives and genetically modified organisms. Papers on these topics will not be published, although the Journal does report comparative studies between conventional and biological husbandry.Instead, biological husbandry focuses on crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, off-farm organic wastes, and aspects of biological pest control to maintain soil productivity, to supply plant nutrients, and to control insects, weeds and other pests.Biological Agriculture & Horticulture is a well-established, significant, international focus for the publication of research and information in this important field of sustainable agriculture. As well as scientific papers, each issue contains a News and Reviews section, including many reviews of recently-published books.
生物农业和园艺学的目标是作为一个中心的重点，广泛的研究替代系统的畜牧业，特别是生物或有机方法的粮食生产。该杂志出版与温带和热带条件下农业、园艺和林业生物畜牧业的任何方面，包括能源和水的利用以及环境影响有关的科学或经济性质良好的工作。生物畜牧业避免或在很大程度上不使用合成复合肥料、杀虫剂、生长调节剂、牲畜饲料添加剂和转基因生物。关于这些主题的论文将不会发表，尽管该杂志确实报道了传统畜牧业和生物畜牧业之间的比较研究。相反，生物农业关注的是作物轮作、作物残茬、动物肥料、豆类、绿色肥料、非农有机废物，以及生物虫害控制的各个方面，以保持土壤生产力，供应植物养分，并控制昆虫、杂草和其他害虫。生物农业与园艺是一个建立良好的，重要的，国际上的重点出版研究和信息在这一重要领域的可持续农业。和科学论文一样，每一期都包含一个新闻和评论部分，包括许多对最近出版书籍的评论。
