Assessing Global Warming Impact on Pest Outbreaks: Climate Modelling and Predictive Analytics for Changing Pest Scenarios

Abstract

The danger of global warming is growing, which has huge effects on farming output, especially by making pest attacks worse. As climate change changes the environment, it's important to understand and predict how pests will behave in order to keep farming going and make sure there is enough food for everyone. This study looks at the connection between changing weather trends, higher temperatures, and the number of pests that attack crops. It stresses how important it is to use advanced climate models and prediction analytics to predict how pest situations will change. To figure out how climate change might affect pest outbreaks, we used a variety of methods, including past temperature data, records of pest sightings, and prediction modeling. Using well-known climate models, we looked at changes in temperature and rainfall across a number of farming areas and found links between these factors and the life cycles, population dynamics, and frequency of pest outbreaks. Machine learning algorithms were used to create prediction models that could predict pest outbreaks in a range of temperature conditions. This made it possible to find potential risk zones and outbreak areas. Based on what we found, as world temps continue to rise, a number of important pests are expected to have larger areas and more individuals in each group. In particular, bugs like aphids, beetles, and caterpillars are expected to do better in warmer weather, which will make crop damage and yield losses more likely. The results make it clear how important it is to have flexible methods for controlling pests that include predictive analytics to make communities less vulnerable to pest attacks. The study also shows how important it is for climate experts, entomologists, and farming partners to work together across disciplines. Farmers and politicians can use climate models and prediction tools to make smart choices about how to control pests, such as when and how to use pesticides, which crops to grow, and how to use integrated pest management techniques.
