“…Increased carbon dioxide, for instance, supports plant physiology but also influences insect fecundity, consumption rates, and density (Rijal et al, 2021;Skendžić et al, 2021;Jha et al, 2024), and alters pesticide translocation and metabolism, reducing pesticide availability for target pests (Matzrafi, 2018). Also increases in temperature increase the pest generations and their geographical expansion, like, Naval orangeworm spreading in the Coastal Ranges, Southern Sierra, and San Joaquin Valley (Pathak et al, 2021;Martínez-Lüscher et al, 2022). The impacts that are seen by the scientific community and those perceived by farmers are aligned, regardless of whether they believe the climate changes are natural cycles or human driven.…”
