Abstract
One of the world's largest nations, India is known for its distinctive landscape, which distinguishes it as a distinct geographical entity and a global center of mega diversity. Pest populations in vegetable crops may be significantly impacted by climate change.
Additionally, warmer temperatures can lead to faster insect development and increased reproductive rates. Farmers and researchers need to monitor these changes and develop strategies to mitigate the potential negative effects on vegetable crops. In response to climate change, whiteflies may exhibit shifts in their distribution patterns, population sizes, and behavior. They may also evolve certain traits that help them better survive in warmer or more variable climates.
