Abstract

The Journal of Cultivated Plants looks back on a 100-year history. Starting out as Nachrichtenblatt für den Deutschen Pflanzenschutzdienst, it had the task from the outset of
informing plant protection services and agriculture about current developments in plant protection research and thus contributing to an increase in yields and a better supply of food for the population. During its history, the journal experienced more frequent title changes, due on the one hand to Germany's history, which was marked by war and division, and on the other hand to the associated dynamic development of German departmental research. However, the Journal of Cultivated Plants has remained true to its role as a mediator between agricultural scientists, consultants and users.
