Association of Applied Biologists

AAB is a learned society and charity focused across many areas of Applied Biology. We deliver our charitable mission through the publication of scientific journals in applied biology, the organisation of conferences across a range of related subject themes, the formulation and dissemination of policies to promote the discipline, the publication of a monthly newsletter and by providing opportunities that reduce the barriers to access for our members. As a society we own two journals: Plant Biotechnology Journal & Annals of Applied Biology; and convene 12 specialist groups. As the lifeblood of our society, the majority of our events are associated from their areas of interest and the activities of their members: – Applied Plant Pathology – Applied Tree and Forest Biology – Biological Control and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) – Cropping And The Environment (CATE) – Food Systems – Horticultural Quality and Food Loss – Nematology – Pesticide Application – PlantEd: Genome Editing in Plants – Plant Physiology and Crop Improvement – Soil and Root Biology – Virology
