The Impact of Global Warming on Future Rice Production in Haenam: Related to the Occurrence of Rice Planthoppers and Chalky Rice

Haenam-kun, a major rice-producing region, is also experiencing rapid warming, and in the near future (2025–2034 and 2035–2044), the potential risk of rice planthopper damage and the occurrence rate of chalky rice were predicted. The potential risk of rice planthopper damage shows an increasing threat due to the warming climate, with stronger damage warnings predicted in the future. It is necessary to further study the warming trends and pesticide resistance in China, the origin of rice planthopper outbreaks. The occurrence of chalky rice is also expected to increase sharply in the future, suggesting the need for improvements in rice varieties and cultivation methods.
