The conference has been focused on recent scenario the global warming is major causing problem global climatic changes are expected to impact insect-plant interactions in several ways. They might affect insects directly, through changes in physiology, behavior and life history parameters, as well as indirectly, through changes experienced by host plants in their morphology, biochemistry, physiology and patterns of richness, diversity and abundance. Insects play important roles in ecosystem services, acting as herbivores, pollinators, predators and parasitoids and changes in their abundance and diversity have the potential to alter the services they provide. The number of studies reporting climate change effects on insects has rapidly increased during the past 20 years. The conference was a premier gathering of educators, professors, scientists, technologists, innovators, graduate students and others interested in sharing ideas, knowledge and experiences. This conference provided to enhance research problem to the students, young researchers and scientific communities in the field of insect diversity and management techniques, tools and important recent trends.
