This book addresses the impact of important climatic changes on
plant pests (including weeds, diseases and insect pests), and their
interactions with crop plants. Anthropogenic activities have
seriously impacted the global climate. As a result, carbon dioxide
(CO2) and temperature levels of the earth are on a continuous rise.
The global temperature is expected to increase by a 3 DegreesC or
more by the end of this century. The CO2 concentration was below
300 parts per million (ppm) before the start of the industrial era;
however, recently it has exceeded 400 ppm. This is highest ever in
human history. Other than global warming and elevated CO2
concentrations, anthropogenic activities have also disturbed the
global water cycle, ultimately, impacting the quantity and
distribution of rainfall. This has resulted in drought conditions
in many parts of the world. Global warming, elevated CO2
concentration and drought are considered the most important recent
climatic changes that are impacting global ecosystems and human
societies. Among other impacts, the effects of climatic changes on
pests, pest-crop interactions and pest control are important with
relevance to global food security, and hence require immediate
attention by plant scientists. This book discusses innovative and
the most effective pest control methods under an environment of
changing climate and elaborates on the impact of drought on plant
pests and their control.
