Abstracts

Climate change represents one of the greatest challenges for modern agriculture, including the application of integrated plant protection. Changes in air temperature, precipitation and the frequency of extreme weather conditions directly affect the occurrence of pests, the development of plant diseases and the productivity of agricultural plant species. In this context, integrated plant protection will play a key role in adapting agricultural systems to new conditions and ensuring their sustainability, as it ensures the protection of natural resources and crop productivity with minimal impact on the environment. The future of integrated plant protection in the context of climate change involves the development of new methods and technologies that will enable adaptation to changed climatic conditions. Adaptation of existing measures, combined with innovations in the field of biological control and digital technologies, will be key to the long-term sustainability of agricultural systems. Climate change presents a challenge, but also an opportunity, for improving integrated pest management to ensure a productive and sustainable future for agriculture. The research is based on an analytical review of current climate change, identification of key challenges it poses to agricultural production, and a systematic review of integrated pest management practices applied in sustainable production systems.
