Emerging Plant Diseases Under Changing Climate Scenario

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Emerging Trends in Plant Pathology

Abstract

The effect of changing climate on plant diseases has been a point of debate since long time. This changing climate may cause imbalance in the ecosystem and directly contribute to the disease development in various crops. Different climatic conditions, e.g., change in sunlight including UV light, temperature, air, rainfall, soil nutrients, carbon dioxide, ozone gas, greenhouse gas emission, and other factors, are affecting the interaction of host plant and pathogens, e.g., fungi, bacteria, virus, nematode, viroid, phytoplasma, and spiroplasma, which are opening doors for the emergence of new diseases and pathogens worldwide. These newly emerged diseases may turn out to be an epidemic under favorable conditions if not regulated wisely as changing climatic conditions are providing favorable environment to the spread and establishment of novel pathogens into new and non-native areas. By keeping all these points into consideration, this chapter focuses on correlation between climatic conditions and disease development and impact of changing climatic conditions on disease development and emergence of new pathogens around the globe. It also puts emphasis on factors responsible for emergence of novel pathogens as well as their possible management tactic to regulate their adverse outcome on agriculture and human to sustain food security in future.
