Horticulture has emerged as a vital component in contemporary agriculture, with the development of numerous innovative avenues. The subject has evolved beyond its traditional focus on vegetables, fruits, flowers, and postharvest technology, expanding to encompass areas such as disease, breeding, pathology, physiology, greenhouse technologies, and others that were once unexplored. The Hi-Tech Horticulture book series has been designed to address these issues and features contributions from distinguished professors and scientists.
