Horticulture plays a pivotal role in contemporary agriculture, and new avenues of exploration are constantly being pursued within this field. 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 previously unexplored. The Hi-Tech Horticulture book series was developed with these considerations in mind, featuring contributions from esteemed professors and scientists.
