The rapid pace of climate change has introduced unprecedented challenges to agricultural productivity, especially in the realm of plant protection. Shifting weather patterns, rising temperatures, altered rainfall regimes, and increased frequency of extreme weather events are reshaping the dynamics of plant pests, diseases, and the effectiveness of existing pest management strategies. In this context, innovative approaches to plant protection have become essential to safeguard global food security and promote sustainable agricultural practices.
This book, Innovative Approaches in Plant Protection under Changing Climatic Scenarios, delves into the emerging trends and advanced technologies that are transforming the field of plant protection. From genetic resistance and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to the use of bio pesticides, smart sensors, and climate models, the chapters presented here explore how scientific breakthroughs are enabling the agricultural sector to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.
1. Green pesticides: A safe and eco-friendly method to mitigate pest and diseases
2. Innovative plant protection strategies in horticultural crops
3. Geospatial Vigilance: A crop health assessment tool to forecast disease outbreaks in sustainable agriculture
4. Improvement of Major Cereal Crops for Changing Disease and Insect Pest Scenario in India
5. Use of GIS based technology for plant disease and pest management
6. Nano-Tech Approach’s in Plant Disease Management
7. Geo-spatial technology for pest and diseases management
8. Effect of Climate Change on Insect pests and food security
9. Soil health management: An innovative tools for plant protection
10. Sustainable Management of Plant Diseases
11. Role of sustainable approaches in management of chickpea pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera Hubner) population in chickpea crop
