...For example, conditions in the UK in 1975 and 1976 were particularly beneficial for aphids in terms of early development and reduced overwintering mortality, leading to large increases in aphid populations, including the cereal aphids Sitobion avenae and Metopolophium dirhodum (Jones, 1979)....

...Expression of resistance to broomrape in sunflower (Eizenberg et al., 2003), black shank resistance in tobacco (Sanden and Moore, 1978) and rice resistance to Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Webb et al. in Garrett et al., 2006) provide other examples of temperature sensitivity....

...Many assessments of climate change effects on crops have focused on potential yields, but factors such as pests and pathogens have major effects in determining actual yields (Gregory et al., 1999)....

...Gregory et al. (1999) summarized experimental findings on wheat and rice crops that indicated decreased crop duration (and hence yield) of wheat as a consequence of warming, and reductions in yields of rice of about 5% per C rise above 32 C. Similarly, simulations of maize production in Africa and…...

...…in actual field and farm level responses because they are derived from experiments and crop models that do not necessarily take limiting factors such as pests and pathogens, competition, nutrient competition, and soil water fully into account (Gregory et al., 1999; Tubiello et al., 2007b)....

...However, it is widely recognized that these figures are likely to represent an overestimate in actual field and farm level responses because they are derived from experiments and crop models that do not necessarily take limiting factors such as pests and pathogens, competition, nutrient competition, and soil water fully into account (Gregory et al., 1999; Tubiello et al., 2007b)....
