The Pest Management Journal of Ethiopia (PMJOE) is a publication of the Plant Protection Society of Ethiopia (PPSE). The journal was launched in 1997, six years after the merger of the Committee of Ethiopian Entomologists and the Ethiopian Phytopathological Committee, both of which had been in existence for more than a decade before they joined to form PPSE in 1992. The society has been holding an annual conference each year, where a large number of papers containing useful information on Ethiopian agriculture are presented and proceedings are published. The sustained growth and improvement in the quality of research results presented in the annual conferences have encouraged the establishment of PMJOE.
