Climate change introducing irreversible shifting in crop cultivation patterns and the consequent loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. We are entering a period of unprecedented climate change impacts in which we will see changes in crop yields, shifts in seasonal patterns of rainfall, and extreme weather events. Climate change has been identified as the major cause of the increased incidence of pests and diseases. In recent times aphids dominating their role as the most emerging pest in agriculture. Aphids can be found in almost every part of the world, but they are most common in tropical regions. The aphids attack a wide range of crops including cereals, fruits, nuts, and vegetables. Aphids also transmit viruses that cause diseases such as bacterial wilt, verticillium wilt, and fusarium wilt which can reduce yields by up to 50%. This paper aims to take a review of research from the literature from the year 2011 to 2014 in a similar area of research to identify the extent of the climate variations’ impact on aphid inducement in cabbage plants.
