dc.description.abstractCrop production forms the foundation of global food security by providing essential nutrients to billions of people and supporting economies worldwide. According to the United Nations, the global population in 2024 is projected to reach 8.2 billion, with expectations to grow to approximately 10.3 billion by the mid-2080s. This population increase places immense pressure on the resources needed for quality crop production. Additionally, climate change has led to global warming, affecting temperature and rainfall patterns, which in turn impacts crop production and plant pest management. This complicates efforts to secure sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to maintain healthy populations.
