Abstract

Global warming leads to climate change at certain times and in different geographical areas. Climate change has serious consequences for agricultural production and food security for the world’s growing population. The consequences of climate variability such as changes in precipitation patterns, increasing temperatures, and increasing wind speeds have direct impacts on the dynamics and epidemics of plant diseases and pests. In addition, factors such as substitute products and changes in the distribution and activity of vectors can indirectly affect the development of these diseases and pests. In other words, climate change leads to changes in the range of activity of pests and diseases, relative abundance of pathogens, prevalence rate, resistance to the pathogen, physiology of host–pathogen interaction, rate of evolution, host compatibility, and effectiveness of management measures of the damaging epidemics. In this regard, pest and disease management under climate change was determined as the main objective of this chapter. For this purpose, a systematic review of the literature was used in order to develop a practical model of pest and disease management under climate change. Finally, based on the framework developed, policy-makers, managers, practitioners, and farmers were provided with some practical recommendations.
