This is resulting in fewer days with very cold temperatures and longer periods that are suitable for the development of insect pests. A recent study by USDA scientists looked at the effects of these climate changes on insect pests that attack almonds, peaches, and walnuts in California, although the same effects will be seen in the Southeast. The study revealed that due to temperature increases, these insects are expected to appear up to 28 days earlier in the spring, and the time between generations is expected to shorten by up to 19 days.\u00a0You can read more in <em>Southeast AgNet<\/em> at <a href=\"https:\/\/southeastagnet.com\/2023\/12\/13\/changing-climate-means-more-pests-almonds-peaches-walnuts\/\">https:\/\/southeastagnet.com\/2023\/12\/13\/changing-climate-means-more-pests-almonds-peaches-walnuts\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2015\/04\/peach-blossoms-commons.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2015\/04\/peach-blossoms-commons.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2015\/04\/peach-blossoms-commons.jpg 320w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2015\/04\/peach-blossoms-commons-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2015\/04\/peach-blossoms-commons-184x138.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Andrea Pavanello, Commons Wikimedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rising temperatures across the country and the world are changing the patterns of warm and cold temperatures over the year.
