Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the continuous development of the horticultural industry, consumers and growers have increasingly high requirements for product quality and production efficiency. Thanks to the rapid development of information technology, there has been a qualitative leap in the digitalization, informatization, and intelligence of horticultural production. The development of precision horticulture has greatly promoted the technological advancement of the entire horticultural industry. For example, the combined application of multiple omics technologies such as phenotype omics, genomics, and metabolomics makes it possible to precisely regulate the quality formation of horticultural crops. The application of artificial intelligence technology in production management and the development of intelligent horticultural equipment have greatly improved the efficiency of horticultural production. Therefore, more research is needed in this field to improve the cultivation level and production efficiency of horticultural products and to promote the sustainable development of the horticultural industry.
In this Special Issue, we would like to publish original research reports and critical reviews concerning precision horticulture in the aspect of production efficiency across the horticultural production chain of fruits and vegetables, especially in interdisciplinary research and thinking. Topics might include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Precision horticultural management technology and its impact on the quality and production efficiency of horticultural products;
- The impact of information technology (such as artificial intelligence and big data) on horticultural production management;
- Analysis of the quality control of horticultural products by multi-omics techniques;
- Economic analysis of horticultural production management and methods for improving profit.
