Sažetak
Climate changes on the global level and influences many aspects of our lives, obviously or silently. It is a term that has been mentioned very frequently in the past several decades and people are more or less familiar with it. Climate changes due to increase of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and the main cause of that increase is human activity, like burning fossil fuels, clearing of land for agriculture, industrial activities etc. Agriculture, together with plant pathology, is directly influenced by climate change, due to the fact that plants are mostly grown in open fields. The most important environmental factors for plant growth are: air and soil temperatures, amount and frequency of rains and relative humidity. Each plant pathogen has an optimal temperature and relative humidity for its growth. In intensive agriculture where agricultural plants are grown in large fields almost nothing can be done to control climate. The question is: how will climate changes influence plant pathogens and plant producers? The right answer would be that the both sides of this biological chain will have to adapt. In Croatia we have several examples of diseases which were problematic or which we did not register before, that might be related to climate changes. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum on sunflower, in 2005, Ramularia collo-cygni on barley in 2009, bacterial leaf spot (Pseudomonas syringae pv. aptata) on sugarbeet in May 2010. In this paper we try to predict how will climate changes influence plant protection and disease pathogens and what can be done in order to prepare plant producers for that.
