ABSTRACT
Climate change is reshaping pest and disease dynamics in agricultural ecosystems by altering temperature, precipitation, humidity, crop phenology, and host–pathogen interactions. Rising temperatures can accelerate pest development, expand geographic ranges, increase generations per season, and enhance the establishment of invasive species. Similarly, changing climatic conditions may favor the emergence, persistence, and transmission of fungal, bacterial, viral, and nematode pathogens. This review examines the impacts of climate variability and extreme weather events on crop pests and diseases, associated changes in outbreak patterns, and implications for agricultural productivity and food security. It also highlights climate-smart integrated pest and disease management strategies, emphasizing surveillance, resistant varieties, biological control, precision technologies, and adaptive forecasting approaches for resilient crop production.
Keywords: Climate change; Crop pests; Plant pathogens; Range expansion; Climate-smart integrated pest management.
