Special Issue Information
As an important part of modern agriculture, horticulture also plays an important role in beautifying the environment and enriching human nutrition. Now, with the application of intelligent devices in all aspects of agriculture, horticulture—an agricultural form that requires more refined management and operation—has begun to pursue intelligence and intensification. Therefore, the demand for advanced gardening technology and intelligent equipment is growing.
In order to develop intelligent technology and equipment that can aid gardening, beautify the environment, and support the cultivation and breeding of plants, research is needed to improve the popularity of intelligent equipment and the survival rate of breeding. Successful breeding can enrich our choices, and automated gardening can accelerate urban greening. Similarly, intelligent technology and equipment in intensive horticulture can not only reduce the cost of manpower, but also improve the accuracy and efficiency of management, thus increasing the output.
This Special Issue focuses on the current intelligent technology and equipment to beautify the environment, promote agricultural intensification, and cultivate and breed species of plants. We invite researchers to submit articles to this Special Issue and put forward their own views and opinions. We will support all researchers in this regard.
