Plant Pathogen Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change

Climate change has a substantial impact on agricultural production. It is crucial to plan and prepare for potential issues related to agricultural practices, which are responsible for the global food supply. Understanding the plant disease phases in the consequence of climate change is essential. This knowledge helps assess disease severity and develop strategies to minimize the risk of plant pathogen infections, as climate change can alter the areas affected by these diseases. Climate change can affect the functioning and resistance of host plants along with the characteristics, evolution stage, rate of spread, and pathogenicity of pathogens. These situations have made the mitigation and adaptation of plant pathogens a complex system. Some changes will be challenging. Therefore, researchers and farmers are trying to adapt sustainable agricultural practices and acquire new knowledge or techniques, especially for managing pathogens under climate change. Reducing the influence of diseases on crop production is essential.
