Weather Based Forewarning of Pest and Disease: An Important Adaptation Strategies Under The Impact of Climate Change Scenario: A Brief Review
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: The intergovernmental panel on climate change predicts the current emission scenario; the global mean temperature would rise between 0.9 and 3.5 OC by the year 2100.It may be affects pest, disease and plants and is likely to make plants more vulnerable to infectious disease, which cause reduces the yield of agricultural crop.Some other problem is also generated due to climate change such as new pest and disease complexes may arise and some pest and diseases may cease to be economically important if warming causes a pole ward shift of agro climatic zones and host plant migrate into new regions.Disease triangle is a conceptual model that shows the interactions between the weather, host and pathogen.These three components are essential for appearance of crop insect pest, disease and favorable of weather condition, crop stage and occurrences of pathogen (all three conditions) are responsible its severity.Pest/disease infestation in crops is highly influenced by meteorological parameters such as mean maximum temperature, mean minimum temperature, mean temperature, mean morning relative humidity, mean evening relative humidity, mean relative humidity, total rainfall, mean wind speed and mean bright sunshine hour etc.
