    Agriculture and Crop Protection; Its Global Importance and Relationship with Climate Change
    (Springer International Publishing, 2020) Florentine, Singarayer; Chauhan, Bhagirath Singh; Jabran, Khawar
    Agricultural practice, which includes well-established systems of cropping, pasture and forestry, represents a continual and essential dependence on healthy arable land across the globe and requires safeguarding with sustainable fertilization and pest control measures. This natural resource system must be continually protected from deliberate and inadvertent damage, in order to provide a suitable source of current and future amenities for all inhabitants of the planet. In this respect, it is morally and ethically necessary that we strive to manage the productivity and well-being of agricultural land in a way that will fulfil the necessities of the present generations and do not compromise needs of the future generations (Bruntland et al. 2012). © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

    Crop Protection Under Changing Climate
    (Springer International Publishing, 2020) Jabran, Khawar; Florentine, Singarayer; Chauhan, Bhagirath Singh
    This book addresses the impact of important climatic changes on plant pests (including weeds, diseases and insect pests), and their interactions with crop plants. Anthropogenic activities have seriously impacted the global climate. As a result, carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature levels of the earth are on a continuous rise. The global temperature is expected to increase by a 3°C or more by the end of this century. The CO2 concentration was below 300 parts per million (ppm) before the start of the industrial era; however, recently it has exceeded 400 ppm. This is highest ever in human history. Other than global warming and elevated CO2 concentrations, anthropogenic activities have also disturbed the global water cycle, ultimately, impacting the quantity and distribution of rainfall. This has resulted in drought conditions in many parts of the world. Global warming, elevated CO2 concentration and drought are considered the most important recent climatic changes that are impacting global ecosystems and human societies. Among other impacts, the effects of climatic changes on pests, pest-crop interactions and pest control are important with relevance to global food security, and hence require immediate attention by plant scientists. This book discusses innovative and the most effective pest control methods under an environment of changing climate and elaborates on the impact of drought on plant pests and their control. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

    Impacts of Climate Change on Weeds, Insect Pests, Plant Diseases and Crop Yields: Synthesis
    (Springer International Publishing, 2020) Jabran, Khawar; Florentine, Singarayer; Chauhan, Bhagirath Singh
    Three distinct components of climate change in the recent times are warming of the earth, increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and erratic changes in water availability to plants. These changes in the global climate not only impact the growth and life cycles of plants but also affect their pests. Recent research demonstrates that the effects of climate change on pests, pesticides (their efficacy and post-application chemistry) and pest management are complex. This is important to document changes in the behaviour of pests and pesticides in the wake of climate change and propose pest management strategies accordingly. Nevertheless, non-chemical methods and integrated pest management will play an important role in sustainable pest control under climate change. Further, the effects of climate change factors on crop protection and crop production are desired to be understood in order to maintain the global food supplies and global food security. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
