Implications of Climate Change for Pest Management for Horticultural Crops (Workshop) *CEU Approved
Implications of Climate Change for Pest Management for Horticultural Crops (Workshop) *CEU Approved
Objective(s):
The objectives of the workshop are to:1. Provide a source of information for ASHS members about the ways in which climate change is impacting pest management.2. Provide a forum for discussion of the implications of these impacts on pest management.3. Assist ASHS members in prioritizing research intended to mitigate adverse effects of pest populations that are being influenced by climate change.

In addition to climate change affecting horticultural crop growth and yields, horticulturists should recognize that climate change will also affect pathogens, rates of disease progression, pests and their natural enemies, and weeds. Increases in atmospheric and soil temperatures may result in less effective disruption of pathogen, pest, and weed life cycles that typically occurs during winter in temperate regions. This workshop will provide an opportunity for ASHS members to receive critical information on the ways in which pathogens, pest and beneficial arthropods, and weeds are currently being affected by climate change and the prospects for the future. The workshop format will include time for audience questions and comments. Presenters and topics will include:
- Karen Garrett – Effects of Climate Change on Pathogens and Diseases
- Lewis Ziska – Impacts of Climate Change on Weeds and Weed Management
- James D. Harwood - Climate Change Effects on Pest Arthropods and Their Natural Enemies
