Climate Change: Impact on Biotic Stresses Afflicting Crop Plants

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Natural Resource Management: Ecological Perspectives

Part of the book series: Sustainability in Plant and Crop Protection ((SUPP))

Abstract

Climate change is of immense concern in view of dependence on agriculture for food and nutritional security of Indian growing population. Effect of climate change on insect pests and diseases of agricultural crops is multidimensional. Magnitude of this impact could vary with the species and their growth patterns. Changing pattern of disease and insect pest scenario due to climate change has warranted the need for improved novel agricultural practices and use of eco-friendly approaches for sustainable crop production. We need to critically revisit the efficacy of current chemical, physical and biological control tactics, including pest-resistant cultivars under climate change, and to include future climate scenarios in all research aimed at developing new tools and strategies. Research on host response and adaptation should be launched to understand better as to how forthcoming change could influence crop pests, coupled with pest risk analyses done regularly, based on host–pathogen/pests interactions.
