Abstract
This review considers the numerous consequences in which climate change affects insect pest population, natural enemy and crop production. Direct effects of climate induced changes on insect physiology and behaviour; and biological interactions that may influence the interactions between pests and their natural enemies. These temperature fluctuations will be expected to change diurnal activity patterns and modify interspecific interactions and hence reduce the efficacy of natural enemies. Direct impacts are as a change in temperature, precipitation and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations; indirect effects of changes in herbivore and competitor distributions; and changes to higher trophic level interactions, such as predation, parasitism and competition. Even climate change effects on natural enemies become more complicated with changes in the plant physiology by CO2, temperature and moisture. Then, extreme weather events aggravate these complexities as they further make unpredictable interactions between crops, pests, diseases and natural enemies. Such unpredictability is a problem for current crop protection strategies and agricultural yield. This review is intended to highlight the need for adaptive pest control solutions for limiting the damages related with climate change, towards a sustainable agricultural production.
