Abstract

The occurrence of climate changes is evident from increase in global average temperature, changes in the rainfall pattern, and extreme climatic events. Climate and weather can substantially influence the fauna, flora, population dynamics development, and distribution of insects. Anthropogenically induced climatic change arising from increasing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases would, therefore, be likely to have a significant effect on agricultural insect pests. Current best estimates of changes in climate indicate an increase in global mean annual temperatures of 1 °C by 2025 and 3 °C by the end of the next century. Such increases in temperature have a number of implications for temperature-dependent insect pests in midlatitude regions. Changes in climate may result in changes in geographical distribution, increased overwintering, changes in population growth rates, increases in the number of generations, extension of the development season, changes in crop–pest synchrony, changes in interspecific interactions, and increased risk of invasion by migrant pests.

Impacts of climate change on crop production mediated through changes in populations of serious insect pests need to be given careful attention for planning and devising adaptation and mitigation strategies for future pest management programs. Therefore, there is a need to have a concerted look at the likely effects of climate change on insect pests and devise appropriate measures to mitigate the effects of climate change on food security.
