Over this period, 0.74ºC increased in global mean
temperature and an increase in atmospheric CO
2
concentration from 280
ppm in 1750 to 400 ppm in March, 2014 was noticed. The effect of CO
2
concentration on phytopathogens can be seen in

. These changes
are contributing in development of a new scenario that is associated to
devastating impact on plant diseases (Fig. 10.1).
