Horticulture has emerged as a crucial component of modern agriculture, with the development of new avenues and areas of study. The subject has evolved beyond its traditional focus on vegetables, fruits, flowers, and postharvest technology to encompass a wide range of other disciplines, including disease, breeding, pathology, physiology, greenhouse technologies, and more. The book series Hi-Tech Horticulture has been designed to reflect these developments and features contributions from distinguished professors and scientists.
