It is an honor and great pleasure to write a few welcome notes for the 4th Edition of the Global Conference on Agriculture and Horticulture being organized from September 16-18, 2024 in Rome, Italy. The impact of climate change on insect pests is gaining a lot of importance these days as the changing weather and climate are bringing many changes in the pest scenario all over the world. Many of the minor or sporadic pests are becoming major pests causing heavy crop losses in important field crops like Rice, corn, wheat, pulses, oilseeds, and other crops of commercial importance including horticultural crops. Thus studying the weather parameters and their impact on pests and diseases and correlating them has become a major task these days. This opens new opportunities to breed new hybrids and also test new molecules to achieve higher productivity and to introduce intelligent, different innovative methods to work against crop pests.
